30. 3SiH with the more economical and non-toxic polyhydromethylsiloxane (PMHS), as suggested in the above reference, was similarly effective (110 °C, 56 h) but caused problems of incomplete separation of polymeric siloxanes in column chromatography.

43. A preliminary PM3 modeling study shows a low racemization barrier (20 kcal/mol) for Nap-Phos which precludes its use as a chiral ligand in cross coupling reactions under conditions described herein. Few chiral non-racemic atropisomeric ligand motifs are known. For discussion, see ref. 14c.
