20. Because ethylene distribution between the headspace and solution varied with temperature, ethylene concentration at a given temperature was determined by NMR integration.

22. f group to a the beta or gamma position and generates a species with a much lower barrier to insertion. From observations summarized in Scheme 6, this method for insertion from 18 appears feasible, but the beta and gamma species are clearly higher in energy and the overall effect would still be a much higher apparent barrier of 18.

31. It should be noted that 19 contains 2.6-diisopropylphenyl groups on the diimine, while the diimine aryls of 4 are 2,6-dimethylphenyl. Typically, differences between rates and equilibria of palladium complexes of varying diimine ligands are small, being on the order of a kcal/mol or less.
