65. +-mediated reaction between 1a and 2a, 3a was still formed but in a moderate 40 % yield. This result is also consistent with the proposed, ionic mechanism, as phenols can also react with TEMPO salts. However, a radical pathway cannot be completely ruled out on the basis of these observations.
66. Highly unstable TEMPOH was partially oxidized to TEMPO during manipulation of the GC-MS samples in air.

70. The use of other strong organic acids such as TfOH or AcOIi led to undesired products and/or large amounts of isochromanone (4).
71. This metal-free reaction was not efficient for tetrahydroisoquinolines, which were not tolerated (lg) or led to complex mixtures (1J, 19% 3r after 48 h).
