68. We assume that 2, 6-lutidine help stabilizing Pd species as a ligand.
69. 3 is essential presumably as an oxidant for Pd (0)-to-Pd (II) process (see the Supporting Information for details). For other representative examples using Ag (I) oxidants in Pd-catalyzed oxidative C-H functionalization, see: a) X. Chen, C. E. Goodhue, J.-Q. Yu, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 12634. For a recent review describing important roles of external oxidants in Pd (II) - catalyzed C-H functionalization, see:

71. This phenomenon was observed only for pyrrole derivatives. In the case of indoles, the corresponding product could not be obtained using any substrates devoid of protecting groups. The regioselectivity observed in the pyrrole reactions might be engendered by the steric bulk of the protecting groups. For a review, see: L. Joucla, L. Djakovitch, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2009, 351, 673. Further studies are in progress to elucidate the controlling elements in regioselectivity.
72. The yield of the coupling product was ca. 50% in the presence of 2, 6-lutidine as an additive. The yield improved to 63% without 2, 6-lutidine, and is of slightly higher yield (70%) in the presence of acetic acid.
