12. 2 promotes rapid N -arylation and disfavors carboamination. When Dpe-Phos is added, a new catalyst is generated that facilitates the carboamination step. For further discussion, see ref 3a.

34. Small differences in enantiopurity between substrates and products are attributed to experimental error resulting from a necessary use of Mosher amide NMR analysis to assay substrate enantiopurities. The enantiopurities of products were assayed by HPLC analysis.
35. 4 was used as a ligand for this transformation.
36. 4Dpe-Phos in metal-catalyzed reactions (the Pd-catalyzed N -arylation of 4-bromoacetophenone with five different amines). See ref 15b. In general, the reactivity of electron-rich wide bite angle phosphine ligands in catalytic transformations has rarely been examined.
