40. This treatment results in the formation of the imidazolium ion, preventing the lone pair of the imidazole nitrogen from inactivating the Grubbs catalyst. See reference: Y. Chen, H.V.R. Dias, and C.J. Lovely Tetrahedron Lett. 44 2003 1379 1382 Our reaction failed to yield the enyne product in the absence of this pretreatment procedure
