38. We attempted to prepare the corresponding imine from 1 and benzylamine. However, the imine was thermally unstable and was not tolerated by the palladium-catalyzed reaction.

44. We assume that intramolecular binding of the nitrogen atom of the imino group to the aryl(chloro)palladium complex facilitates deprotonation of the resulting complex to give I.
