48. An alternative possibility is direct metalation to form a Pt(IV) metallacyclobutane followed by reductive elimination. Evidence disfavoring this mechanism includes the observation of cyclopropane products with related Pd(II) catalysts, which would implicate the involvement of a Pd(IV) intermediate; see ref 2b. However, this possibility has not been rigorously disproven.
