11. This result was unexpected, given the reports of generating cyclohexynes using this type of methodology as described in ref 4a,b.
12. It is possible that the elimination might be successful with a better leaving group. This is being investigated.

28. The basis for the high selectivity toward the [2 + 2] process is presently not obvious but is being explored computationally.
29. The similarity of results with dienes 4 and 10 implies that possible stereoelectronic effects associated with spiroconjugation in 4 have no significant influence on the cycloaddition reactions.
30. Whether or not the cycloaddition reactions involving free cyclopentyne are diffusion-controlled will be addressed in a subsequent publication.

33. 20 They indeed proposed such a complex but had no evidence for its existence and certainly did not uncover different reactivities for free and a possibly complexed species.
