41. 2-Et (X-ray structure characterized) was isolated asa side-product in 52% yield from the Pd-catalyzed reaction of 1a with DEAD.

43. This result may suggest that the higher reactivity of DEAD relative to other azodicarboxylates could have led to the higher product yields observed (see Supporting Information).
44. 13C NMR analysis of the unknown revealed a characteristic carbonyl signal at 155.8 ppm, which is unique from dibenzyl carbonate and dibenzyl oxalate. A similar product profile was observed for thermal decomposition of dibenzyl azodicarboxylate.
