21. Use of MeI as an in situ trapping reagent has been demonstrated by Hartwig et al. in the palladium-catalyzed arylation of malonates but not cyanoacetates, see ref 4b. No other alkylating reagents have been demonstrated as in situ traps.
22. In the absence of a Pd catalyst/ligand, the control experiment of 5-bromopyrimidine with 3 and KOt-Bu produced ∼30% conversion after overnight heating, whereas 3-bromopyridine gave no detectable amount of product, indicating efficiency of Pd catalysis.
