43. In the presence of an external Heck acceptor, coordination of norbornene to intermediate 2 is preferred due to the steric strain relief associated with carbopalladation to form intermediate 3. While norbornene is theoretically required in catalytic amounts, often stoichiometric quantities are used to moderate the competitive reactions in the system, namely direct Heck reaction of intermediate 2. For further information, see ref 12d.
