When subsequent additions of 1 equiv FeCl3 were made in a solution of alkyne and TMG, the C–H stretch peak at 3277 cm−1 started to decrease as the temperature increased from 30 to 100 °C

• extinction coefficient (6100 M−1 cm−1) compared to Me2B (4700 M−1 cm−1) at their λmax values of 403 nm and 394 nm in DCM, respectively [19]. This difference in light absorption is further exacerbated by the fact that the irradiation wavelength is not aligned with the λmax of Me2B. Calculating from the

• reported value, the extinction coefficient of Me2B at 405 nm is approximately 4500 M−1 cm−1. As a result, initiating the reaction in Me2B is not as efficient, and may require a shorter wavelength of higher intensity. However, as reported by Kosower et al. [18], bimanes are prone to photoreactions under UV
