15. The Verpoort group has earlier reported a less toxic protocol for the bidentate Schiff base ligands. Unfortunately, different groups, including our group and also their own group, have had difficulties reproducing their data.

17. Other groups have also observed an rate enhancement when the X-type ligand is changed from an alkoxide to a carboxylate, see: T. S. Halbach, S. Mix. D. Fischer, S. Maechling, J. O. Krause, C. Sievers, S. Blechert, O. Nuyken, M. R. Buchmeiser, J. Org. Chem. 2005, 70, 4687-4694.
