30. In the absence of ruthenium, cycloisomerisation was not observed under conventional or microwave heating.
31. Microwave dielectric heating increases the rate in cationic Ru(II)-mediated cycloisomerisation of 1,6-enynes. For details of the conventionally heated reaction, see: B. M. Trost and F. D. Toste, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2002, 124, 5025.
