Hypotheses
• The presence of halides / triflates from the in situ formation of mixed organozinc nucleophiles
inhibit the reaction with Pd(II).
• Rh(I) / Rh(III) couple tolerates nucleophiles (and aqueous conditions) at high temperaturtes,
as demonstrated by Hayashi:

Solution by Jacobsen: Oligomeric (salen)Co Complexes
Ready, J. M.; Jacobsen, E. N. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 2687.
Key: Monomeric salen complexes operate by a second-order mechanism.
Hypothesis: Oligomeric catalysts would improve the reactivity by minimizing the entropy cost.
