The reaction was performed on a 0.20 mmol scale. bC2 was used along with 2.0 equiv. of H3 in THF at 25 °C. c10 mol% of C2 was used along with 2.0 equiv. of H3 in EtOAc at −20 °C for 48 h. DPZ = 5,6-bis(5-methoxythiophen-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile. CPME Cyclopentyl methyl ether, LED light-emitting diode.
