16. sp3-N bond are rare. In contrast, syn aminopalladation and subsequent reductive elimination from C is a prevailing pathway as shown in reference [1].
17. Although anti aminopalladation of olefin has been well studied, the reactions of amines tend to suffer from catalyst deactivation by the strong coordination of amine to the palladium center, except for the reaction of a substrate bearing a electronwithdrawing group on the nitrogen center.
