85. However, from the present data, we cannot exclude a path initiated by complex A completely. It may represent a minor kinetically competing pathway.
86. Typically, base cannot dissolve completely in the solvent, and some remains undissolved in many of these copper-catalyzed coupling reactions, making the reaction solution heterogeneous in nature. Refer to some discussions in refs 5b 5c, and 5e.
87. Relatively few studies have been performed on the transmetalation step in transition metal catalysis. For some limited examples relevant to Pd catalysis, refer to: Braga, A. A. C.; Morgon, N. H.; Ujaque, G.; Maseras, F. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 9298

89. Liu, Q.; Lan, Y.; Liu, J.; Li, G.; Wu, Y. D.; Lei, A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 10201 However, there are no precedents of such studies for copper-catalyzed C-X (X = C, N, O, etc.) bond formation reactions. It seems that deprotonation of complex PDb by base is a stepwise process since concerted extrusion of HBr from PDb possesses a very high activation barrier (more than 30 kcal/mol).
