60. Note that in this system, ring inversion through an open-shell transition state with a planar unit is blocked by benzannulation. See ref 5d and references therein.
61. In a recent work studying various phenyl-substituted phenylacetylene substrates, only [6,6]-cyclization products were observed: Rodríguez, D.; Martínez-Esperón, M. F.; Navarro-Vázquez, A.; Castedo, L.; Domínguez, D.; Saá, C. J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 3842-3848.
62. This dual polar/radical reactivity is characteristic not only for cyclic allenes but also for molecules with a high biradical character, such as the α,3-didehydrotoluene species: (a) Hughes, T. S.; Carpenter, B. K. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2 1999, 2291-2298.
