85. This model can also account for the results we have obtained in the attempted annulation of diphenylacetylene by 2-bromobenzonitrile (30% yield of 1 with 80% conversion of the starting material after 72 h) and 2-cyanophenyl triflate (no annulation product). The annulation is probably impeded since the Pd-Br bond in IIIa (X = Br) would reduce the partial negative charge on the vinylic carbon due to bromine's relatively high electronegativity, and palladium triflates (IIIa, X = OTf) are known to easily dissociate and form cationic palladium complexes, obviously incapable of nucleophilic reactions.
