50. The relatively high ratio of higher alkylated products suggests that the second alkylation might occur without prior release of the initially alkylated 2a. Also, the observation of secondary alkylation products in the deactivation process (vide infra) suggests this notion.
51. Independent synthesis of a rhodium olefin complex with 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene was not successful. In situ NMR studies indicate the formation of such complexes as intermediates.
52. It is curious to note that the ratio of endo to exo products in this reaction increases as the reaction proceeds with exo-3g being the exclusive addition product in the early stages of catalysis, which suggests that intermediates such as 5 or mixed olefin complexes generated from 1 and norbornene show different reactivity as the presumed bis-norbornene rhodium complex, which is assigned as the resting state during norbornene conversion.

56. (b) A referee has suggested that formation of the silyl enolate might occur through a mechanism involving the addition of a rhodium hydride to the vinyl silane followed by β-silyl elimination and release of ethylene to generate a Rh - silyl complex. Insertion of ketone into the Rh -silyl bond followed by β-elimination would generate the silyl enolate and regenerate the rhodium hydride. While we cannot strictly rule out this mechanism, it is not apparent how a Rh - H species could be generated as the chain carrier in this system.

58. No site selectivity regarding the olefin was observed, which suggests that olefin insertion into a Rh hydride can occur with both regiochemistries under these conditions. This is especially remarkable since the exclusive products observed are based on anti-Markovnikov olefin addition. Olefinhydride insertion might be directed by the carbonyl group with respect to regiochemistry; no direct evidence for this is available.
