35. Our previous studies showed that use of certain electron-rich phosphines (e.g., 2-dicyclohexylphosphinobiphenyl) provided acceptable yields in the Pd-catalyzed carboamination reactions of γ-aminoalkenes. Thus, it seemed possible that the alkene insertion into the Pd-N bond may also potentially proceed with other electron-rich phosphines. See ref 2.

44. The rate of reductive elimination generally increases as ligand size increases and decreases as ligand basicity increases. Steric effects can outweigh electronic effects, as electron-rich ligands that are sterically bulky are known to promote reductive elimination. For reviews, see: (a) Christmann, U.; Vilar, R. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 366-374.

49. Rates of associative ligand substitution should decrease as the electron density on the metal center increases due to electron-electron repulsion between the metal and the incoming nucleophile.
50. Increased back-bonding from the electron-rich metal to the alkene may also play a role in decreasing the rate of alkene dissociation. For a discussion of back-bonding in electron-rich Pd(II)-alkene complexes, see: Miki, K.; Shiotani, O.; Kai, Y.; Kasai, N.; Kanatani, H.; Kurosawa, H. Organometallics 1983, 2, 585-593.
