100. Electron-"neutral" and electron-poor arenes were employed in order to guarantee synthetically acceptable stability of the corresponding allenes. Aryloxyallenes featuring electron-rich arenes proved to rapidly self-polymerize even at low temperatures and turned out to be unsuitable for the present protocol.
