10. We recently reported an enantioselective intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,4-diene-yne, in which a chirality at the fused carbon atom was generated also in the metallacyclopentene intermediate: Shibata, T.; Tahara, Y. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 11766.
11. Three groups, including us, independently reported an enantioselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of a diyne and alkyne for the generation of axial chirality; however, the chirality would be generated in the metallacyclopentadiene intermediate due to the ortho-substituted aryl groups on the diyne termini: (a) Gutnov, A.; Heller, B.; Fischer, C.; Drexler, H.-J.; Spannenberg, A.; Sundermann, B.; Sundermann, C.
