44. For the initial observation that in situ reaction of a copper-alkyl complex with MeOH can lead to re-generation of the corresponding Cu-OMe, which leads to re-formation of the requisite Cu-B(pin), see:, S. Mun, J.-E. Lee, J. Yun, Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 4887-4889.
45. 2, re-generation of NHC-Cu-B(pin) can occur through reaction of the NHC-Cu-alkoxide with the sodium boronate derived from addition of NaOtBu or NaOMe with the diboron reagent. See:, B. Jung, A. H. Hoveyda, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 1490-1493 for related discussions.
