“…The reactions were performed using Pd(OAc) 2 as the catalyst precursor and different ligands (PPh 3 , Xantphos, dppb, dppf, dppe, dppp, BINAP, DBFphos, PS-nixantphos), along with bases ( i Pr 2 NEt, pyridine, propylene oxide). The best results were obtained applying Xantphos [ 47 , 48 , 73 ], dppb [ 74 ] or dppf [ 75 ] as the P -ligand, and N,N -diisopro-pylethylamine as the base. Employing a solvent/co-solvent system was beneficial, as it may support the tautomerization of the P -reagent, and thus the ligand-exchange step of the catalytic cycle.…”
