23. It is widely accepted that metal acetylides from Group IB fail to participate in the nucleophilic C=O addition and in most cases, silver acetylide was utilized as a stoichiometric reagent only: (a) Dillinger, S.; Bertus, P.; Pale, P. Org. Lett. 2001, 3, 1661.

34. The side reaction is the isomerization of the product to chalcone, which can be inhibited by decreasing either the temperature or reaction time.
