55. Since the rate of the reaction is being determined by initial rates, the carbamate of the product does not need to be considered.
56. Pentacoordinate Pd(II) complexes are rare and usually bear tetradentate ligands. For an example, see Ghilardi, C. A.; Midollini, S.; Moneti, S.; Orlandini, A.; Ramirez, J. A. J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1989, 304-306.
57. Carbamates are intermediate in basicity between amides and esters; see Armstrong, V. C.; Moodie, R. B. J. Chem. Soc. B 1968, 275-277.
