34. Although 4 could, in theory, be formed via an E2 elimination involving the initially formed benzyloxyboron dichloride intermediate, the absence of a base under these acidic conditions would appear to make this unlikely.
35. Brønsted acids react with the alkyne (or alkene) starting materials in a competitive fashion that generally leads to more complex product mixtures.
