3. The term "unactivated alkene" is subject to a variety of interpretations. In the present context, we use this term to mean simple alkyl olefins, which traditionally have been among the least reactive alkenes in catalytic intermolecular amination reactions. Vinyl ethers, vinylarenes, dienes, and other alkenes containing electron-withdrawing or -donating groups or possessing the ability to chelate a metal center exhibit varying levels of "activation". In addition, substrates that undergo intramolecular reaction should not be described as " unactivated" alkenes because of their intrinsic entropic "activation" relative to substrates that undergo intermolecular reaction.

90. The alkene insertion step probably proceeds via the initial coordination of the alkene. A first-order dependence on [styrene] will be observed with or without precoordination of the alkene, provided the alkene adduct in the former case does not build up and contribute to the resting state of the catalyst.
