30. β-Hydride elimination remained competitive under all reaction conditions examined.
31. The modest yield of 2a was due to competitive formation of 2b and competitive decomposition of alcohol 2 to an intractable mixture of oxidation products.
32. 2 is likely to act as a Lewis acid catalyst for this cyclization rather than to promote a rare 5-endo-trig oxypalladation/acetoxylation sequence.
33. 4 remains to be definitively elucidated. We speculate that it may render the Pd center more electrophilic and thereby promote coordination of the alcohol.
34. For a rare example of 5-endo-trig oxypalladation, see: S. Saito, T. Hara, N. Takahashi, M. Hirai, T. Moriwake, Synlett 1992, 237-238.
35. 2.
36. (E)-3 did not form any THF product under these conditions; therefore, the stereochemical outcome of reactions with (Z)-3 appears to reflect a stereospecific transformation of the Z isomer and not isomerization to (E)-3 with subsequent aminocyclization.
37. The low yield of 3b appears to be due to fast catalyst decomposition under these conditions. The remainder of the material is predominantly (ca. 72%) a mixture of E and Z isomers of 3. See the Supporting Information for a full discussion.
