24. The synthesis of 9 and its derivatives has been accomplished by the use of expensive trifluorotriazine (with ethynyllithium reagents: ref 12 and Wortmann, R.; Glania, C.; Krämer, P.; Matschiner, R.; Wolff, J. J.; Kraft, S.; Treptow, B.; Barbu, E.; Längle, D.; Görlitz, G. Chem. Eur. J. 1997, 3, 1765) or a potentially toxic ethynyltin reagent (with trichlorotriazine 8: Faust, R.; Göbelt, B. Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 8017.).

26. We employed ca. 40% toluene as a cosolvent with THF to raise the reflux temperature.
27. As a byproduct, pentakis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzene (7) was isolated in 10% yield (see ref 11b).

35. Recently the utility of zinc reagents in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl chlorides was reported by Fu. However, alkynylzinc reagents were reported to be unsuitable coupling partners: Dai, C.; Fu, G. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 2719.
