30. The treatment of a mixture of 1a and 2n with In (ONf) 3 (20mol%) in Bu2O at 85 °C for 24 h gave product 5 including a seven-membered ring structure as a main product but in a low yield. The structure of 5 was assigned based on the following report, see: B. Joseph, O. Cornec, J.-Y. Mérour, X. Solans, M. Font-Bardia, J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1997, 34, 525. (Equation presented) We will further study the scope of the seven-membered ringforming annulation and report the result in due course.
