28. In most cases invoving alkyne coupling to 1,2-dibromobenzene, we could obtain higher yields using the Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling of the alkynylzinc chloride to the arylbromide. See: Negishi, E.; Takahashi, T.; Baba, S.; Van Horn, D. E.; Okukado, N. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1987, 109, 2393.
29. CAUTION: The threaded glass tubes were obtained from Ace Glass Inc., product number 8648. Though we experienced no explosions in more than 50 reaction runs studied, thermalization processes should be carried out behind protective shielding.
