19. As observed in the optimisation studies, no exogenous base is required to promote this sequence of reactions. In fact, as the base is recovered in the final step, the benzylamino moiety of a second molecule could promote the elimination of HI.
20. The hydride donor ability of palladium hydride complexes greatly depends on the Pd-ligands, see for example: J. W. Raebiger, A. Miedaner, C. J. Curtis, S. M. Miller, O. P. Anderson and D. L. DuBois, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2004, 126, 5502.
