Reaction progress kinetic analysis of the Pd-catalyzed coupling of allylB(pin) and allyl carbonate 1a with (R)-4 as described in Table 1. (A) Reaction rate versus [1a] for 0.1% (R)-4 (blue line) and 0.05% (R)-4 (red line). (B) Heat flow versus time for the standard amount (0.5 M, blue line) versus excess (1.0 M, red line) of 1a. (C) Heat flow versus time for the standard amount (0.6 M, blue line) versus excess (1.2 M, red line) of allylB(pin). (D) Reaction rate versus [1a] for the standard (0.5 M 1a, 0.6 M allylB(pin), ‘excess’ allylB(pin)= 0.1 M, blue line) versus modified initial concentrations (0.3 M 1a, 0.4 M allylB(pin), ‘excess’ allylB(pin)= 0.1 M, red line).
