investigations to extend the mechanistic understanding and
substrate variability are ongoing in our laboratory and will be
reported in due course.

A 4mL vial equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged with
Pd2(dba)3 (4.58 mg, 5.00 µmol, 5 mol%), (S)-PyraBoxL1 (3.30 mg, 10.0
µmol, 10 mol%), and THF:H2O99:1 (1.5 mL). The vial was capped and
the mixture was stirred at 60oC for 10 minutes to form the precatalyst.
Next, the vial was cooled to room temperature and charged with 2,3-DHF
(5) (22.7 µL, 0.30 mmol, 3 eq.), CaCO3 (20.0 mg, 0.20 mmol, 2 eq.), and
the appropriate arenediazonium salt (0.10 mmol, 1 eq.). The vial was
closed and then the reaction was stirred at room temperature until
complete consumption of the arenediazonium salt (-naphthol test,
approx. 5–10 minutes). Next, the reaction was filtered through a short
pad of silica gel and washed with EtOAc (3 x 15 mL) and the solvent was
removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in MeOH
(2.0 mL) and NaBH4 (38 mg, 1.00 mmol, 10 eq.) was added at room
temperature. After 15 minutes, the reaction was concentrated under
reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash chromatography
to afford pure samples of the corresponding Heck–Matsuda products.
