56. A pentasubstituted benzene (shown below) was generated in a trace amount as a single regioisomer. Because cyclotrimerization of 8 is also sluggish under the present reaction conditions, formation of metallacyclopentadiene from two molecules of 8 may not be involved. Accordingly, the regioselective formation of this compound can be explained by the reaction of rhodacycle B with 8 instead of 2.equation presented
57. Ru catalysts are also effective for the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,6-diynes with electron-deficient nitriles: (a) Yamamoto, Y.; Okuda, S.; Itoh, K. Chem. Commun. 2001, 1102.

60. Yamamoto and co-workers recently demonstrated that the coordinating groups including halogens of nitriles play an important role in the Ru-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,6-diynes with nitriles: (a) Yamamoto, Y.; Kinpara, K.; Nishiyama, H.; Itoh, K. Adv. Synth. Catal. 2005, 347, 1913.
