11. An exception to this definition are the so called enantioconvergent processes, in which both enantiomers of the substrate originate the same enantiomer of the product, through different mechanistic pathways. For more details, see also ref. 4b and 4d.

26. For the sake of clarity, in this article, the stereochemistry of the molecules (starting materials and products) will be referred to as cis/trans; whilst for the organopalladium intermediates (π-allyl complexes) the syn/anti nomenclature will be employed.

30. The nature of the ligand bound to the incoming zero-valent palladium was also found to affect the oxidative addition in a critical way, see ref.16b.

35. The cis/trans ratio of isomerization was found to be time dependent: 2.3:1 (30min); 1:1.3 (1hour) 1:2 (2h). After prolonged heating, the isomerization was biased by the formation of a by-product (the corresponding conjugate diene, product of elimination).

53. Since the substrate is cis-configured, the use of a stabilized carbanion in palladium catalysis should lead only to the enantioenriched product of similar relative stereochemistry (retention).

59. A mechanism involving a ligand-dependant syn oxidative addition seems to be very difficult to rationalize in such a complex system, although it cannot be excluded.
