35. Other N substituents, such as methyl or p-methoxybenzyl, resulted in lower yields (8 and 49%, respectively).
36. Other oxidants, such as AgOAc (50%), PhI(OAc)2 (22%), and p-benzoquinone (5%), led to lower conversion (values in parentheses).
37. Under the current conditions, the use of terminal alkynes resulted in alkyne dimerization.
