33. A small amount of biphenyl identified in the reaction correlates with the number of surface palladium atoms and suggests that the phenylboronic acid plays a role in reducing the surface palladium. Thus, reactions are performed with a 20% excess of aryl boronic acid.

41. This is analogous to the acceleration of oxidative addition of aryl chlorides to Pd(0) via coordination of an electron-withdrawing tricarbonylchromium group to the arene ring. See: Uemura, M.; Nishimura, H.; Kamikawa, K.; Nakayama, K.; Hayashi, Y. Tetrahedron Lett. 1994, 35, 1909-1912.

43. For the reaction of p-chloronitrobenzene with phenylboronic acid at 80°C with 5 mol % of Pd/C, after filtration through 0.45 mm filter, we found 1.0 ppm of palladium by atomic absorption spectroscopy. If the reaction were to occur exclusively on palladium that leached into solution, a turnover number (TON) of 16 000 would be required. Catalytic palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings with TON greater than 10000 have only been demonstrated in few cases ((a) Murray, W. V. Chemtracts-Org. Chem. 1993, 6, 263-284.
