32. As expected to the view of several precedents, the yield for this cyclocondensation is markedly diminished when starting from N,N′- disubstituted ureas. This structural feature will be crucial for our synthetic purposes (vide infra).

34. The study was also extended to the use of some other hypervalent iodine reagents (PIDA and IBX), but complex mixtures of compounds were obtained in all cases.
35. A similar solution was applied in a study related to the intramolecular PIFA-mediated cyclization of N -methoxy- N ′-phenylureas to render 2-benzimidazolinones, which was productive only when an additional N ′-substituent (R) was incorporated to the starting material.

37. The I(III) mediated intramolecular electrophilic aromatic amidation was first reported by Kikugawa's group and deeply exploited thereafter. Kawase, M.; Kitamura, T.; Kikugawa, Y. J. Org. Chem. 1989, 3394-3403
38. A Hofmann rearrangement leading to a 5-aminoDHPM was not observed either.
39. Aryl groups were selected, over other possibilities, on the basis of their known ability to stabilize oxidized amides (acylnitrenium ions). See, for example: Falvey, D. E. In Reactive Intermediate Chemistry; Moss, R. A.; Platz, M.; Jones, M., Jr., Eds.; John Wiley & Sons: Hoboken, NJ, 2004; pp 593 - 650 and references cited therein.

42. Metal-catalyzed C-H activation processes accomplished as a result of the generation of stabilized deficient intermediates followed by a 1,5-hydride shift are known. See, for example: Tobisu, M.; Chatani, N. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 1683-1684

44. This particular behavior, in the context of I(III)-mediated heterocyclic synthesis, was first reported by Kita's group. Tamura, Y.; Yakura, T.; Haruta, J.-I.; Kita, Y. J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52 (2) 3927-3930 Later, the preferential formation of lactams over lactones was reached by subtle modification of the amide functional group by Knappp's and Ciufolini's groups: Knapp, S.; Levorse., A.
