37. Very recently, stable alkylideneindolenine compounds have been prepared by palladium-catalyzed reaction of alkynylimines with aryl iodides:, Z. Chen, J. Zhu, H. Xie, S. Li, Y. Wu, Y. Gong, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2011, 353, 325-330. The 1,4-type regioselectivity and reactivity observed in nucleophilic additions to intermediate 2 a probably stems from the major contribution of the resonance structure 2 a″ involving charge separation with aromatic character.

40. Unclean reaction mixtures were indeed obtained by using N-benzyl, N-Boc, and N-TBDMS pyrrole derivatives.
