Unless otherwise stated, reactions were carried out as follows. An oven-dried 10 mL microwave vial was charged with the palladium complex 14 (0.035 mmol, 1 eq.), finely ground Cs2CO3 (22.8 mg, 0.07 mmol, 2 eq.), anhydrous benzene (2.5 mL) and a clean magnetic stirbar. The vial was capped, removed from the glovebox and stirred under irradiation from a 456 nm Kessil lamp placed 2 cm away for 24 h (reactions were measured to reach 60 o C using an infrared thermometer). The reaction was then allowed to cool to room temperature and uncapped, after which an accurately weighed amount of ndodecane internal standard was added. The reaction mixtures were then filtered through a short pad of celite to remove insolubles and washed with n-hexane and EtOAc. A small aliquot of the reaction mixture was diluted in EtOAc and submitted for analysis by GC-FID, where the yields of products were determined by calibration of the instrument with authentic samples vs. n-dodecane (see page 31 for calibration information). % Yields are reported with respect to the palladium complex 14 (0.035 mmol).
