39. L1 is a highly efficient ligand for Heck reactions; see ref. 11a. L2-4 were prepared following the similar procedures.
40. Other reaction parameters, including palladium sources, solvents, and bases, were examined and the reported conditions were found optimal. The effect of 3 Å molecular sieves was found to give deleterious effect on yields because of serious Pd-black formation.
