30. The unpurified reaction mixture (Table 1, entry 2) contained approximately 90 % unreacted 5 a, along with other unidentified impurities and only trace amounts of spirocycle 6 a. This appears to rule out the possibility that the successful reactions using AgOTf or Cu(OTf)2 are catalyzed by adventitious triflic acid through "hidden Brønsted acid catalysis". See:, T. T. Dang, F. Boeck, L. Hintermann, J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 9353.
