21. This is true despite some early developments in the field originating from the observation of α-arylated products when Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions were conducted in acetone solvent (see ref 1c).

32. 3 proved to be unsuccessful in promoting the reaction, and LiHMDS and NaOtBu provided intractable product mixtures in which negligible amounts of 2a were observed by use of GC.
33. In neat acetone, L11 also provided good results for arylation with 1a (94% conv., 93% yield at 60 °C in 19 h).
34. The use of 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl tosylate resulted in the formation the corresponding phenol as the major product under the standard conditions.

38. Preliminary studies also showed that L13 was capable of cross-coupling electron-rich aryl bromides (4-bromotoluene and 4-bromoanisole) under similar conditions.
