64. The steric nature of the organozinc reagent could affect the formation of the active catalyst. We observed significant variation in yield when the organozinc reagent participating in the cross-coupling reaction was used alone.
65. The reaction depicted in Table 4, entry 4, yielded 87% of the cross-coupled product when n-butylzinc bromide catalyst activation was not employed.
66. Secondary alkylbromides and alkylzinc reagents are unreactive under these conditions.
