42. In order to achieve complete consumption of starting materials, a ratio of four ligands/Pd atom was employed, as 2:1 ligand/Pd ratios led to only 85-90% conversion.
43. 1-pivaloyl protected substrates afforded only trace amounts of products.
44. Initial studies on carboaminations of amides such as 5a-c suggest these transformations may be feasible, but further optimization is required; low yields (ca. 10-20%) of the desired products were obtained.

56. The insertion of alkenes into Pd-C bonds in intramolecular Heck reactions occurs through a conformation in which the alkene π-bond and the Pd-C bond are eclipsed. Other possible transition states in which the orientation of the alkene is perpendicular to the M-C bond are significantly higher in energy See:

60. Examination of molecular models suggests that low diastereoselectivities would be obtained in reactions that afford cis-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines if alkene aminopalladation occurred with the nonbonding nitrogen electrons directed towards the alkene π-system.
61. An alternative explanation for formation of the cis-2,3-disubstituted piperazine 41 as the major stereoisomer, with low selectivity, would involve cyclization through a chair-like transition state in which the alkene was oriented in a pseudoaxial position (75). However, the alkene pi-system is perpendicular to the Pd-N bond in 75, which is anticipated to lead to high transition state energy. As such, we currently favor the boat-like transition state model for these transformations. For discussion of related transition states in alkene carbopalladation processes, see Ref. 22.{A figure is presented}
