38. Complexes of the type [(NHC) Pd (R-acac) X] are scarce; for precedents, see: a) K. Hiraki, M. Onishi, K. Sugino, J. Organomet. Chem. 1979, 171, C50-C52;

41. Despite repeated attempts we were unable to obtain suitable crystals for X-ray analysis of 8.
42. This is in sharp contrast with the observation by Cavell and coworkers that [(IDM) Pd (tfac) Me] (IDM = 1, 3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene, tfac = trifluoroacetylacetonato) and [(IDM) Pd (hfac) Me] are active precatalysts for the Heck reaction; see reference [15c].
43. Such a short catalyst life could be the consequence of high concentration of bare monoligated palladium (0) species, which will aggregate and precipitate. We are currently investigating, among others, this hypothesis.
