28. Turro and co-worker independently found that the photolysis of 1,2-bis(1-pentynyl)cyclopentene as well as of 1,2-bis(1-phenylacetylenyl)-cyclopentene yielded the indane derivatives; see citation [39] in reference [4b].

32. We confirmed that the thermal reaction of 7 proceeded smoothly at 57 °C and did not give even trace amounts of 9. The enediyne 9 did not undergo cycloaromatization at the same temperature; this reaction did not occur at an appreciable rate until at least 100 °C.
