93. The insertion of alkenes into palladium-carbon bonds is not reversible in systems where the alkylpalladium intermediate generated by carbopalladation contains syn-β-hydrogen atoms, as β-hydride elimination is generally faster than β-aryl or β-alkyl elimination. For rare examples of β-aryl and β-alkyl elimination from Pd(II) complexes that lack β-hydrogen atoms, see: (a) Campora, J.; Gutierrez-Puebla, E.; Lopez, J.

157. Three strategies allow the installation of the aryl moiety within 1-3 steps of the final target. Davis generated the C-2 benzyl group in the final step by the reaction of lithium diphenylcuprate with a pyrrolidinylmethyl iodide (40% yield, single diastereomer; 10 steps total, 9% overall yield), see: (a) Davis, F. A.; Deng, J. Tetrahedron 2004, 60, 5111.
158. Davis has also installed the benzyl moiety through the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of a 3-oxopyrrolidin-2-ylphosphonate followed by a two-step reduction sequence (43% yield over 3 steps; 10 steps total, 25% overall yield), see: (b) Davis, F. A.; Zhang, J.; Qiu, H.; Wu, Y. Org. Lett. 2008, 10, 1433.
159. Bach employed the Paternò-Büchi reaction of benzaldehyde with a dihydropyrrole (4:1 dr, 53% yield after separation of the diastereomers) followed by a two-step deprotection sequence to generate the benzyl substituent (39% yield over 3 steps; 9 steps total, 11% overall yield), see: (c) Bach, T.; Brummerhop, H.

216. Surprisingly, the stereochemical outcome of the piperazine-forming reactions is opposite to that predicted by the allylic strain model, similar to that shown in Scheme 11. Our current working hypothesis suggests that the piperazine-forming reactions proceed through a transition state in which the N-aryl group is rotated to minimize allylic strain interactions, and the structure around the cyclizing nitrogen atom is pyramidal. Investigations into this hypothesis are currently underway.
