53. We do not believe that this reaction proceeds through a directed Pd(II)-catalyzed iodination, followed by amination of the C-I bond. See : Mei, T.-S.; Giri, R.; Maugel, N.; Yu, J.-Q. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 6452. Treatment of the corresponding iodo-biphenyl amine (1o) under the oxidative Pd(II) conditions affords the same product, 2o, as seen in the tandem reaction.
