38. The phenoxy iminoisobenzofuran framework was unambiguously confirmed by obtaining the X-ray crystal structure of phenoxy iminoisobenzofuran 14 r (Table 1). See Supporting Information for details.
39. The closest related structures include an iminium perchlorate reported by Boyd and a series of cyclic imidates reported by Sato et al. However, these structures are shown to be unstable in the presence of water. See

63. Attempts were made to carry out similar transformations using methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, 2-cyclopentenone, and 2-cyclohexenone in place of methyl propiolate (19 a). However, each failed to generate the corresponding iminoindanone under the reaction conditions.
64. Efforts to employ additional alkynes lacking conjugate acceptors (e.g., cyclohexylacetylene, ethoxyacetylene, and diphenylacetylene) failed to generate the corresponding three-component adducts.
