25. A referee suggested an alternative mechanism based on alkyne insertion steps mediated by Rh intermediates. According to this suggestion, the alanine ligand could be substituted in i by a third alkyne molecule rendering A. Two alkyne insertion steps will afford iv from A through the intermediate B. equation presented
