12. The CuCl catalyst probably coordinates both dppp and the isocyanide in this case. The coordination to the isocyanide makes it easy to generate the anionic intermediate 2′ in Scheme 2 and stabilizes the derived species. Moreover, the ligation to the phosphine holds intermediates B and 2′ close together and accelerates the formation of the cyclized intermediate C
