23. 2-Iodophenyl triflate 5 is converted to the corresponding aryne in the presence of 1.0 equiv of lithiated allyltrimethylsilane and 10 equiv of furan at -78 °C, affording 88% of the Diels-Alder cycloadduct.
24. When the reaction is conducted with 3.0 equiv of lithium di[3-(prop-1-enyltrimethylsilyl)]cuprate, in the absence of the extra equivalent of lithiated allyltrimethylsilane under otherwise identical conditions, 8 is generated in 39% yield.
25. Longer reaction times or lower temperatures have insignificant impact on yield.
26. Acetic acid could be added with comparable results.
