17. We have found that aryl nonaflates can be cleanly prepared from the parent phenols using nonafluorobutanesulfonyl fluoride in acetonitrile in the presence of 325-mesh potassium carbonate as the stoichiometric base.
18. See ref 13 for a detailed account of Pd-catalyzed couplings of aryl nonaflates with secondary sulfonamides.
19. 3 was used as base.
20. The product was not isolated and the reported yield is an approximate yield based on HPLC.
21. The coupled product was formed in 6% yield after 16 h at 80 °C in the absence of palladium and ligand.
22. Acyl substituted aryl bromide or aryl triflate were found to be unsuitable substrates for Pd-catalyzed amidation reaction due to a competitive ketone arylation reaction. See ref 3.

29. -3 mM/min, and the reaction proceeded to approximately 70% conversion after 24 h. Perhaps the rate-limiting step changes for the reactions of chloroarenes. The discussion of chloroarenes as electrophile is beyond the scope of the current study.

60. 13C NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, this material melted at 96-97 °C. We suspect that in the original report by King et al. an impurity is responsible for the depressed melting point they observe.

62. 13C NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, this material melted at 96.3-97.2 °C. Given that no procedure for the preparation or purification of 4-methoxy- N-p -tolylbenzenesulfonamide is given in ref 61, we cannot rule out the possibility that they isolated a higher melting solvate or polymorph, but we suspect that the high melting point reported for this compound is in error.
