77. In these control experiments, only the reaction products of type 10 were isolated and characterized. Self-dimerization and -trimerization adducts of alkynes 4 and traces of other regioisomers were also formed but neglected.
78. When enyne 9c was heated at 80 °C for 1 d in our catalytic system, a complex mixture was generated and only ca. 30% of the starting material was recovered.
79. 2 atmosphere for 1 d without obvious decomposition. Attempts at the preparation of a tetramer from the reaction of Z-7a and 4a with our protocol were also not successful.
