21. The intrinsic activity of ligand 1 is probably even greater than suggested by the data in Figure 1 because at the catalyst concentrations employed in this experiment its reaction rate approaches the limit of detection of the reaction calorimeter.
22. Decreasing consecutive initial rates for reactions with successively lower initial [amine] suggests intrinsic positive order kinetics in [amine]; however, it could also be attributed to zero-order kinetics in [amine] and decreasing [catalyst] due to catalyst deactivation.

25. 2, 7, and NaOt-Am resulted in only free phosphine and a small residual peak that cannot be identified at 48 ppm: no phosphine oxide was present in either mixture. Thus, it is difficult to draw conclusions on the basis of these studies.
