42. 3P and 5 mol% of Ni(acac)2 only led to a ratio of 1.5:1 favoring the [2+2+2] product 3a. Attempts to interject the reaction intermediate with a third alkyne (3 equiv) resulted in a complex mixture (when ethyl 3-phenylpropiolate was used) or the recovery of most of the starting 1,6-enyne 1a (when phenylacetylene or 1-hexyne were used), however, similar strategy was successful with Rh-catalyzed reactions of unactivated 1,6-enynes: (a) Baik, M.-H.; Baum, E.
