36. The formation of the meta product for m -methoxypivanilide was not reported in ref 6. We found that the meta product was inseparable from the unreacted reactant by flash column chromatography. It was identified by NMR analysis of the mixture, separated by HPLC, and fully characterized. See the Supporting Information for details.
