44. 3 with (R)-BINAP in CH3́CN/THF (1.5:1) for 7 h at room temperature, affords quantitative formation of 9 (NMR, TLC).
45. 3 with (R)-BINAP for 1 h, led to identical results that those obtained when the catalyst 9 was isolated before use.

53. A very slow addition rate of the TBAF solution is required. Otherwise, the fast generation of the aryne leds to low yields of the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition products.
