It is known that different oxidative addition mechanisms of alkyl halides are operational depending on the solvent and the halide, which affects the enantioselectivity of this step and the stereochemistry (cis or trans) of the kinetic product; however, in all experimental cases using alkyl halides in polar solvents the product observed is the trans isomer regardless of the enantioselectivity, showing that the cis-to-trans isomerization, if needed, is extremely fast, most likely faster than transmetalation.
