18. An alternative anionic pathway has been suggested by Hartwig involving KtOBu that helps account for the high levels of reactivity seen when this base is used. See

35. To ensure that there is no unique effect coming from morpholine in these studies, the reaction rates were studied by using piperidine as the amine with 4-chlorotoluene and the rates were essentially superimposable in the otherwise identical reaction with morpholine.
