52. 6 system cannot be excluded completely, we assume that the results in Scheme 1 support the idea that Hf metal works as an active species at least for styrene 1c. For recently reported Brønsted acid catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination with amides, see reference [7].
53. 6 system is not applicable to 4-methoxystyrene owing to competitive self-polymerization.
