20. Limited examples have appeared for the low catalyst loading copper-mediated reaction. Taillefer et al. showed that only 10 ppm of Cu was enough for the coupling at 80°C of PhI and phenols, see

35. When 1.0 and 1.5 equiv. of L -phenylalanine were employed, the yields were decreased to 17% and 50%, respectively, under the optimized conditions.
36. It is assumed that the nitrogen-oxygen interchange through the rubber of the balloon could occur to prevent the catalytic activity.
37. Although it is easy to remove the inorganic base from the reaction mixture by aqueous work-up, a large amount of aqueous waste containing inorganic salts is produced and it is costly for disposal. Another advantage with the use of DBU was the ease of the purification process, which avoided the elaboration of unsoluble materials frequently observed when inorganic salts were employed as base to prevent the easy isolation of product.
