57. When Brønsted acids were used for the reaction of 1 a with MeOH, the sole formation of 4 a was observed (see the Supporting Information). These results indicate the need for zinc to accomplish the formation of 3. For a previous report on the dimerization of enynones, see:, J. Barluenga, L. Riesgo, R. Vicente, L. A. Lõpez, M. Tomás, J.
