38. A ca. 1:1 mixture of 7 and 1b was obtained at 0 °C.
39. Over this temperature benzyne formation is expected if the corresponding dilithiated species 2b would be formed. See: Reavill, D. R.; RichardsonSt., K. Synth. Commun. 1990, 20, 1423-1436
40. At 0 °C no starting material remained in the crude reaction mixture, probably due to ortho -lithiation and further benzyne generation that gives rise to an untreatable mixture.

47. Compound 10 probably comes from t -BuLi addition to the expected 2- tert -butoxy-7-iodobenzoxazole. In the same way, formation of 11 could likely be due to subsequent elimination of t -BuOH from 10 under the reaction conditions.
48. 2-Bromo-3-nitrochlorobenzene has been prepared from 2-chloro-6- nitroaniline, which is obtained as the minor isomer (14% yield) in the chlorination reaction of o -nitroaniline. See: Liedholm, B. Acta Chem. Scand. 1969, 23, 3175-3186

80. Treatment of 22ba or 22ca with KO t Bu in DMF gave rise to lower yields of the corresponding indoles 23 (ca. 30%). See: Rodriguez, A. L.; Koradin, C.; Dohle, W.; Knochel, P. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2000, 39, 2488-2490
81. Although we also tried the selective monoalkynylation of 18bc with 1-ethynylcyclohexene, the use of <2 equiv of the alkyne gave rise to a mixture of the possible isomers bearing one alkynyl moiety at both C-2 and C-3 positions, along with minor amounts of the starting material and 25c.
