(26) The low yield of the dppe derivative 3 (see above) might have the
same origin, i.e. insufficient flexibility of the (dppe)Pd fragment. An
optimal degree of rigidity is apparently needed, however, for the reaction
to occur. This is indicated by the poorly efficient H-CF3 activation or
lack thereof with many monodentate and bidentate ligands explored in
the current work (see above and Table S1).21 A detailed study of the
influence of conformational, steric, and electronic properties of the
supporting ligand on the reaction is the subject of a separate project.

activation with transition metals, see: Balcells, D.; Clot, E.; Eisenstein, O.

(28) Although Ar-CF3 reductive elimination from Pd(II) is highly
challenging,3,29 the formation of PhCF3 from 4 at 145 °C (ca. 60%
selectivity) has been reported.22 Xantphos20c,29 and subsequently
BrettPhos30 have been found to promote Ar-CF3 coupling at Pd(II)
at as low as 50−80 °C.
