33. In similar reaction conditions, 8-quinolinolato rhodium complexes were reported to catalyze cyclotrimerization of phenylacetylene: Shestakova, V. S., Shestakov, G. K., Yureva, L. P., Belyi, A. A., and Temkin, O. N. Russ. Chem. Bull. 1985, 34, 485-487 See the Supporting Information for other reactions catalyzed by 8-quinolinolato rhodium compelxes.
34. Some isolated yields are much lower than GC (NMR) yields due to their volatility and/or low stability.
35. The reaction of 1-octyne with 2a in the presence of 3 gave a small amount (3% NMR yield) of the corresponding anti-Markovnikov addition product.
36. The reaction of tri(isopropyl)silylacetylene with 2a afforded only a trace amount (< 10% NMR yield) of the addition product under the standard reaction conditions. Other silyl acetylenes, such as trimethylsilyl-, triethylsilyl-, triphenylsilyl-, and tert -butyldimethylsilylacetylene, were not effective as substrates.
37. Allyl and benzyl alcohol did not give the desired enol ether when used as O -nucleophiles. Acetic acid reacted under the standard reaction conditions, and the corresponding anti-Markovnikov addition product, β-styryl acetate, was produced in 28% GC yield (Z / E = 54/46).
38. Mechanistic investigation by deuterium labeling experiments has been difficult due to rapid exchange of protons between MeOH and arylacetylenes.
39. Stoichiometric addition of alcohols to vinylidene complexes has been observed: Gamasa, M. P., Gimeno, J., Martin-Vaca, B. M., Borge, J., Garcia-Granda, S., and Perez-Carreno, E. Organometallics 1994, 13, 4045-4057
