27. It is not clear whether this isomerization occurrs thermally, or it is assisted by Pd. For the Pd-assisted iso-merizations of alkenes, see, for example: E.

57. Although coordination of ArPdX to a triple bond is a requisite step in numerous transformations, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on employment of the triple bond as a directing group in the Pd-cata-lyzed C-H arylation reactions.
