12. Several examples of cleavage of p-methoxyphenyl groups from nitrogen have been described. However, these transformations are typically facilitated by the use of strong oxidants and exhibit relatively low functional group tolerance. See: (a) S. Saito, K. Hatanaka, and H. Yamamoto Org.

29. Proton NMR analysis of crude reaction mixtures revealed diastereomer ratios of 10-20:1; the minor diastereomer was usually readily separated by chromatography to provide isolated products with >20:1 dr. Thus, diastereomeric ratios reported in Table 4 represent ratios of diastereomers for the isolated material upon which the yield is based. The diastereomeric ratios observed in crude reaction mixtures were >20:1 for 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines, >20:1 for 6-substituted hexahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrroles, and ca 10:1 for 2,3-disubstituted pyrrolidines.

37. Although we currently favor this mechanistic hypothesis, an alternate mechanism involving alkene insertion into the Pd-C bond of 33 followed by C-N bond-forming reductive elimination cannot be excluded in all transformations.

42. Electron-donating groups may facilitate β-hydride elimination by stabilizing the developing positive charge on the β-carbon in the transition state. See: J.A. Mueller, and M.S. Sigman J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125 2003 7005 7013
43. The small size of the N-acyl and N-Boc substituents relative to N-aryl groups may also alter the rate of β-hydride elimination in some systems.
