24. This reaction also proceeded in THF (65% yield). The yield of 2a decreased when this reaction was carried out at 0 °C (56%) or 50 °C (59%). The reaction of 1 with 2a was carried out in a larger scale (15 mmol scale) without difficulty: 3a was isolated in 72% yield. The major byproducts of these reactions were cyclopentanes which were formed by the cyclodimerization of 1 and the oligomers of 2.
25. The progress of the reaction was very slow, and the starting material did not disappear even after the prolonged monitoring of the reaction.
