75. a value of alkyne as well as that of the heterocycle would be a significant factor in the present reaction.
76. Our preliminary investigation indicated that the reactions with thiazoles and imidazoles were unsuccessful. Given that the formation of the diyne side product was also inhibited, the strong coordination nature of sulfur and nitrogen atoms of these azoles would cause the deactivation of copper complexes.
77. No formation of 5ab was observed from the reaction in DMAc under the original conditions for entry 6 in Table 1. Even at the elevated temperature (15O°C), the product was detected in only around 20% GC yield.
