22. 3SiH too slowly to be important in reductive couplings, and the catalysts do not promote silyl exchange among the products of reductive coupling.
23. Since 4b and 4c are produced in excess of 4a and 4d when PBu3 is used, it appears likely that the major pathway proceeds with crossover and a minor pathway proceeds without crossover.
