8. Imine hydrogenation catalyzed by rhodium and iridium complexes would be expected to occur through an amide complex. However, mechanistic data are scarce. A direct observation of imine insertion that produces an amide complex potentially similar to those in catalytic systems is the following: Fryzuk, M. D.; Piers, W. E. Organometallics 1990, 9, 986-98.

24. The concentrations of water and amine were calculated on the basis of their known starting concentrations and the stoichiometry of the reaction depicted in eq 1.
25. The entropic contribution was shown to be small in the following case: Bryndza, H. E.; Fong, L. K.; Paciello, R. A.; Tam, W.; Bercaw, J. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1987, 109, 1444.

27. Although the geometries of 1 and 4 are different, the bond dissociation energy as defined by the homolysis of the metal - hydroxo or - amido bond incorporates the rearrangements that are necessary to give the most stable geometry of the radical formed by such bond homolysis. For a relevant discussion, see ref 34 of Hartwig, J. F.; Andersen, R. A; Bergman. R. G. Organometallics 1991, 10, 1875. The O-H bond energy is a weighted average of those in the two isomers of 1.
28. obs values were independent of the initial concentration of 1.
