125. The calculation presented in Figure 12 is based on the use of 5-10 mol-% of each catalyst (as reported in the literature for typical catalytic processes). The cost associated with additional reagents for these processes has not been considered in calculations presented. That said, the current cost of 2 mol of iPrMgCl is approximately $184 whereas the additional cost associated with use of 5mol-% of (+/-)-BIPHEP is $1,359 (Strem-2008).
126. 4 for a hypothetical reaction run on 1-mol scale would cost approximately $220 (Strem 2008).

130. Regiochemical control in alkyne functionalization was not achieved as a result of the preorganization envoked. Rather, reactivity of a preformed monocyclic Ta-alkyne complex was achieved with a terminal alkene containing a tethered hydroxy substituent. Also, the position of the hydroxy substituent played a central role in the site-selective reaction of dienes with a preformed Ta-alkyne complex.
131. While the use of substituted alkenes, allenes and alkynes are well known in intramolecular metallacycle-mediated bond construction, barriers associated with reactivity broadly impact the viability of such bond constructions in a bimolecular manifold.

161. In the reaction of a Ti-alkyne complex with a carbonyl electrophile, conversion of the metallacyclopropene species to the metallacyclopentene intermediate is coupled to the formation of a strong Ti-O bond. In the related reaction with an alkyne, formation of the metallacyclopentadiene is coupled to the formation of a relatively weak Ti-C bond.
