19. All new compounds were fully characterized by NMR, IR, and mass spectral data as well as by elemental analyses or high-resolution mass spectra.

27. Metal carbene (including platinum carbene) complexes have been invoked in cascade cyclizations of 1,6-diene-11-ynes to yield cyclopropane-linked tetracyclic systems, yet in the reported cases they were not formed by α-dehydrobromination: N.
