22. Formation of an enolate requires a base, whereas an acid favors dehydration of the aldol products. For the acid/base combined systems for aldol condensation and dehydration sequence, see: Refs. 2a,b and references cited therein.
23. The Ru/DBU mixture is not suitable for 1-silyl-3-en-1-yn-5-al 1 in this tandem catalysis due to the occurrence of desilylation, which gave desilylated benzene 3 in 23% yield.
24. The role of this dual catalyst in this tandem catalysis is shown by the data in Scheme 2 (entries 5 and 6) and Table 2 (entries 5-7), which reveal that this catalyst combination not only enhanced aldol condensation, but also the subsequent aromatization reaction.
