22. Recent reports from Nakao and Hiyama and from our group provide examples of the use of this mechanism as a unified concept for reaction design (see ref 3 and: Nakao, Y.; Yada, A.; Ebata, S.; Hiyama, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 2428) A previous example of this mechanistic phenomenon is the Sonogashira reaction (see ref 5).

27. We considered the possibility that cationic 2 rather than neutral 3 was the cross-coupling partner with 4. In the ethyl series, dealkylation of the oxonium ion did not occur, so we could query this point. Cationic ethyl 9 did not participate in cross-coupling, suggesting that neutral 3 rather than cationic 2 was the more likely transmetalation partner:
