33. After turnover ceased, the concentrations of α-6 and γ-6 were invariant and thus the reactions are irreversible. Dimethylmalonate can act as a nucleofuge in allylic alkylation - although usually under more forcing conditions, see for example: a) B. M. Trost, R. C. Bunt, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 70-79; b) H.

The halide is postulated to do this by acceleration of exo and endo rotamer equilibration in intermediate 1,3-diphenyl allyl Pd-(PN) complexes by one or more of the following: i) Berry pseudorotation in a pentacoordinate intermediate, ii) π-σ-π allylic equilibrium or iii) N-dissociation-rotation-coordination - see, for example, A.
