44. It was proven that gold catalyst 9 did not isomerize the final dienes because performing the isomerization for a longer time or resubmitting the isolated dienes to the same reaction conditions did not change the Z/E ratios.
45. An alternative mechanism involving the activation of the terminal double bond of the allene moiety may be envisaged.
