37. The Arndtsen group has attributed amide formation to thermal decomposition of the iminium ion. See: Siamaki, A. R.; Arndtsen, B. A J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 6050
38. 2 and no Ni(0) catalyst, the cyclization of N -(p -methoxybenzoyl)aminal 1i resulted in only 3% yield of isoindolinone 3i.
39. 2 resulted in complete decomposition of aminal 1a. Significant decomposition of aminal 1a to amide 4 was observed under these conditions, but no isoindolinone 3a was observed.
40. This result is consistent with observations of Doyle's Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of related aminal substrates. See ref 13.
41. Similar mechanistic quandries have been proposed for related Pd-catalyzed cyclizations. See: Martín-Matute, B.; Mateo, C.; Cárdenas, D.; Echavarren, A. Chem.-Eur. J. 2001, 7, 2341
