Summary (AI generated)

We chose the reaction conditions based on improving reactivity and achieving an acceptable yield. The solvent was selected to enhance the reaction and angios activity. There is room for improvement in terms of selectivity. The molecular series showed compatibility with various α V and α A groups. However, reactivity and selectivity slightly dropped and we may need to consider changing the Dixon.
