61. Reaction of 3k in o-DCB at 110°C resulted in incomplete reaction and 4k was obtained in 24% yield with a trace amount of chlorinated byproduct. The formation of chlorinated byproduct was not observed for the reaction of other substrates.

64. We have reported in our previous communication that no kinetic isotope effect was observed in an intramolecular competition experiment using ortho deuterium labeled substrate (see ref 22). This suggests that a hydrogen abstraction step is not involved in the rate determining step and other metalation mechanisms such as σ-bond metathesis might be eliminated. Intramolecular isotope effects are sometimes observed in palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalizations, see: (a) Hennessy, E. J.; Buchwald, S. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 12084.
