  1. aReaction condition: IPr·HCl (0.09 mmol) and [Pd(η³-cin)(μ-Cl)]₂ (0.045 mmol) were dissolved in the desired amount of acetone to have the concentration of X1. X1 is based on that of IPr·HCl in the solution. RT = 25 °C.
  2. bConversions were calculated based on 1H NMR analysis.
  3. cIsolated yield for the scale of 0.18 mmol of IPr·HCl.
  4. Bold: optimized or best conditions.
