30. 2. Since this report, it has emerged that couplings of this aryl halide, and related compounds, can be complicated by electron-transfer processes, making it a poor benchmark substrate for screening catalysts/precatalysts.
31. 2; it is clear that both are useful precatalysts for coupling benzylic halide components in this reaction.

42. PEO acts as an organic stabilizer for in situ formed palladium colloids/nanoparticles (formed by degradation of the palladium(II) precatalyst), produced by aggregation of palladium(0).
