19. 4 in DMSO (1.0 mg/1.0 mL). Monitoring of the reaction begins exactly 75 s following the final addition.
20. 4 catalyst absorbance band at ca. 287 nm is observed (see Supporting Information). Hence, although we find the reproducibility of this incubation period to be only moderate under these particular conditions, it is clearly related to catalyst activation. Further studies are underway.
