70. Control experiments revealed that the aldimine does not react with aryl bromides, excluding a reaction pathway via carbopalladation of this protodecarboxylation product. An alternative pathway via decarboxylative cross-coupling of the α-oxocarboxylate followed by imine condensation can be excluded on the basis that α-oxocarboxylates did not decarboxylate at 100a°C.
