38. Use of the dimethylcarbamoyl protecting group in this case led to poor conversion to product.
39. Under the standard reaction conditions, terminal and dialkyl alkynes afforded only trace amounts of product.

41. Under the same reaction conditions, using 1a and PivOD resulted in deuterium incorporation at the alkene position. A control experiment revealed no H/D exchange at the alkene of 3a under the reaction conditions.
42. Under the standard reaction conditions in the absence of catalyst, no deuterium loss was observed.

44. A competition between methoxyindole 1b and nitroindole 1c revealed a preference for the more electron-rich arene (4:1 ratio), which is consistent with C-H bond cleavage via electrophilic activation, as previously demonstrated for related systems.
