13. Alkynylalanes have been used to conjugately add alkynyl groups to enones (see References 10,12) but this reaction is often complicated by competing 1,2-addition: Hooz, J.; Layton, R. B. Can. J. Chem. 1973, 51, 2098. Alkynyl-9-BBN derivatives have also been used for this transformation: Sinclair, J. A.; Molander, G. A.; Brown, H. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1977, 99, 954.
