17. 9. Acetic acid would enhance the rate of formation of hydridopalladium(II) species. Presumably, the direct formation of hydridopalladium(II) species from allenic amine derivatives and Pd(0) is sluggish.
18. 10. Trost and Gerusz proposed hydropalladation mechanism for the reaction of allenes with active methylene compounds: J. Am. Chem Soc. 1995, 117, 5156-5157. We also proposed the hydropalladation mechanism for the intramolecular reaction. See also ref. 5.
19. 11. Gallagher et al. proposed nucleophilic addition to allenes activated by arylpalladium(II) species as an alternative mechanism. However, this mechanism cannot account for the formation of 1,3-diene. Davies, I. W.; Scopes, D. I. C.; Gallagher, T. Synlett 1993, 85-87.
