This mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of phenylacetylene with a stoichiometric complex of triethylamine and triethylaluminum. A mechanism of type I has been proposed for a tributylamine-triethylaluminum complex. A mechanism of type III has not been discussed, as only stoichiometric complexes have been investigated.
