We tried other aqua and hydroxo catalysts, however, slightly
lower yields were obtained under similar conditions:
[Pd(dppp)(H2O)2](TfO)2 (33%), [Pd(dppf)(H2O)2](TfO)2 (24%),
[Pd(µ-OH)(dppe)]2(TfO)2 (41%). We also examined the reac-
tion of [Pd(dppe)(CH3CN)2](TfO)2, which would act as a Lewis
acid, and confirmed that the yield was low (50%).

Chem. 1999, 64, 4570Ϫ4571. Although an acid was not added
to this system, the formation of allylamines was observed. Per-
haps, a trace amount of water in the reaction media might act
as a proton source (see Supporting Information; for Support-
ing Informations see also the footnote on the first page of

A similar solvent effect was observed in the palladium-cata-
lyzed Mannich-type reaction. The authors concluded that the
palladium complex did not act as a Lewis acid, see: A. Fujii,
E. Hagiwara, M. Sodeoka, Synth. Org. Chem. Jpn. 2000, 58,
728Ϫ735.
The reaction with alkylamines such as n-hexylamine, benzyl-
amine, 4-methylbenzylamine, cyclohexylamine and tert-bu-
tylamine did not proceed under identical reaction conditions.
Stoichiometric insertion of an activated alkyne into a amido-
palladium complex has been reported, see: L. A. Villanueva,
K. A. Abboud, J. M. Boncella, Orgaometallics 1992, 11,
2963Ϫ2965.
