25. 2-sp bonds is known. The reaction may proceed via either in situ generation of terminal alkynes or β-carbon elimination; see refs 4a,b and the relevant literature cited therein.
26. 2 is considered to be due to its better ability to form the alkoxy complex. This resembles transmetalation with arylboronic acids.

30. The reaction occurred only to a minor extent to give 10% of 2ap and completely stopped within 1 h. No cross-coupling with the terminal alkyne as well as its homocoupling was observed. However, the origin of the inhibiting effect is not clear at the present stage.

33. Of the expected cyclization products, only 3ap is known. Interestingly, it was described that the furan afforded fluorescent yellow-green needles, while the synthesis was rather tedious: Filler, R.; Piasek, E. J.; Mark, L. H. J. Org. Chem. 1961, 26, 2659.
