39. Steric congestion near the acetanilide directing group slows down the reaction and deteriorates the yield:
40. Increasing the temperature or the catalytic loading did not significantly improve the yield in this case. However, no side products were observed.

42. The high value of the TOF for the acrylate substrate is in accordance with previous reports on related transformations; see refs 2 and 3.
43. It should be noted that when 1-octene was engaged as a substrate, only trace amounts of product could be detected.
