28. 2 exhibited a similar catalytic activity (20 mol %, p-xylene, 150 °C, 84%).
29. The reaction inp-xylene required a higher temperature to proceed than in DCE.
30. The reaction in the presence of 5mol% gold (I) catalyst in DCE at 80 °C resulted in the formation of a mixture of pyrene 6d (20%) and monohydroarylated phenanthrene (13%).
31. The reaction of 1a was also accompanied by the formation of some unidentified by-products.
