37. 4 was less effective, and its use under the same reaction conditions gave 3a1 in 42% yield (Z/E = 56/44).
38. As reported in ref 4a, the E/Z isomerization of alkynylated 3-alkylideneoxindoles was caused by the phosphine ligand. (17) Alkynylboronate 2m was so labile that it was handled in a glovebox.
