50. We confirmed the stability of the alkyne 4n under the reaction conditions. The instability of 4d under basic conditions may be attributed to the relatively high acidity of the benzylic proton. In case of 4n, on the other hand, such deprotonation-decomposition reactions would be impeded by the influence of the two ortho substituents.
