23. In the absence of potassium carbonate, the reaction stopped after reaching ca. 20% conversion with 10 mol % catalyst loading (or 55% with 30 mol % catalyst loading), presumably because the bromide anion inhibited the reaction. Addition of silver phosphate or carbonate also resulted in high conversions, but the reaction mixtures were not clean.
