29. The benzodiazepine motif and related congeners are prominent examples of medium (seven)-ring systems in drug molecules. Aside from this class, seven-, eight-, and nine-membered-ring systems are rare in current marketed drugs. Review: Majhi, T. P.; Achari, B.; Chattopadhyay, P. Heterocycles 2007, 71, 1011-1052.

31. The reaction conditions were effective for six-membered-ring formation. The six-membered analogue of 2a was isolated in 87% yield using the same procedure (Supporting Information).

41. We note that Gorelsky and co-workers13c have identified C-H bond length, rather thanC-Hacidity, as the governing influence inCMD mechanisms for the intermolecular arylation of arenes with aryl bromides.
