41. 3 and MeOH under the same reaction conditions as those in Scheme 15. E-Bromoalkene 74 was recovered in 81% yield without contamination of Z-bromoalkene 75. Although Z-bromoalkene 75 was also recovered in 27% without the isomerization, alkyne 77 was isolated in 50% yield. Based on these observations, the possibility of bromoalkene isomerization-substitution sequence was excluded from the cyclizations of both 6 and 9 in Scheme 15. In the cyclization of Z-bromoalkene 9, an alternative mechanism such as formation of alkyne followed by cyclization to dihydrothiophene 52 might be proposed. However, the cyclization of an E/Z-mixture of bromoalkene 3, which has no possibility of alkyne formation, gave dihydrothiophene 51 without recovery of the Z-isomer. Moreover, the alkyne formation is slower as compared with the cyclization. Accordingly, nucleophilic substitution pathway is most likely for the reaction mechanism of the cyclization of both bromoalkenes 6 and 9 as shown in Scheme 15. For a report of the formation of dihydrothiophenes from sulfur-alkyne cyclizations, see:. McDonald F.E., Burova S.A., and Huffman Jr. L.G. Synthesis 7 (2000) 970 {A figure is presented}

47. DMI has an almost the same dielectric constant (37.60) as DMF. Since DMF and DMI are able to dissolve many salts and tend to surround metal cations rather than nucleophilic anions, the use of free anions as model systems could be approved.
