(13) In the course of the project, we found the reaction outcome relied
heavily on the quality of anhydrous acetonitrile used in the reaction.
Therefore, we investigated the influence of water on the reaction. For
influence of H2O in aryne transformations, see: (a) Dhokale, R. A.;
Mhaske, S. B. Org. Lett. 2016, 18, 3010. (b) Feng, M.; Tang, B.; Wang,
