93. The metal-catalyzed intermolecular cyclization of P-OH to alkynes has been reported: (a) Peng, A.-Y.; Ding, Y.-X. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 15006.
94. We also examined the base-mediated cyclization reaction of phenyl-(2-phenylethynylphenyl)phosphine. The reaction gave the corresponding benzo[b]phosphole in 54% isolated yield together with its oxide in 12% yield.
95. 16d We found the reaction time depends on the substrate. For example, the reaction of 2d proceeded with ca. 50% conversion for 7 h, but the reaction of 4 completes in 2 h.

98. The isomer ratio could not be estimated because of the overlap of the NMR chemical shifts. An attempt to separate these isomers from each other using chromatography also failed.
