23. Amides, however, act as nucleophiles in the aminopalladation of a double bond. The addition of a deprotonated amide to a π-allyl palladium intermediate is known; see: Yoshizaki, H.; Satoh, H.; Sato, Y.; Nukui, S.; Shibasaki, M.; Mori, M. J. Org. Chem. 1995, 60, 2016.

When commercially supplied n-Bu4-NCl under otherwise anhydrous conditions was used, the conversion was about one-third during the same reaction period.
