including the use of ortho-substituted aromatics to synthesize
highly hindered quaternary carbons. The mechanism likely varies
withthesubstrate, dependingonthedegreeofcationstabilization.
The use of alkynyl nucleophiles generated reaction intermediates
that underwent an additional 5-endo-dig cyclization to form
substituted cyclopentenes.
