57. The point at which quenching was initiated was essential to the success of the rearrangement. If quenched too soon, byproducts resulting from protonation of the lithiated intermediates are formed and greatly complicate purification because of similar retention times on Chromatographic supports. TLC analysis was therefore required during the warming stage to ensure complete rearrangement. The reaction mixture was consequently allowed to warm up to ∼-5 °C to ensure complete rearrangement. See Supporting Information for complete experimental details.

61. During the course of our study, Hirsch and co-workers reported a similar observation; see ref 26. To the best of our knowledge, these are the only two known examples of an apparent loss of C2 during a Hay coupling reaction. Cleavage of single bonds in polyynes has, however, been reported for other metals (e.g., Zr and Ti). See: Rosenthal, U.; Pellny, P. M.; Kirchbauer, F. G.; Burlakov, V. V. Acc. Chem.
