70. The lower reactivity of 18 and 20 will be an influence of the Mts group: the aryl group of Mts will direct the opposite side to the isopropyl group at the α position, which may cause an unfavorable steric interaction to the alkyl group on the allenyl carbon on cyclization. However, the exact reason for their lower reactivity is unclear.
