50. Use of XPhos gave superior results as compared to tri-(o-tolyl)- phosphine, 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP), and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl (SPhos).

52. (b) XPhos is commercially available.
53. In the absence of palladium catalyst, none of the coupling products were observed.
54. Best results were obtained by further drying commercially available anhydrous potassium phosphate (160 °C, 0.1 Torr, 12 h) and handling it under inert atmosphere.

64. The immediate heating of the starting reaction components to temperatures above 60 °C is not recommended. In the case of triflate 5a, omission of this incubation time resulted in a noticeable decrease in the efficiency of the coupling reaction.
65. n-palladium complexes due to higher concentration of the aza-anion may also be in part responsible for the observed lower reactivity of acidic azaheterocycles; see ref 2c.
66. The ease of stereospecific synthesis of fully substituted vinyl triflates as compared to the corresponding vinyl iodides is noteworthy; see refs 8-10.
