^aProcedure a: Pd(ii) complex (1 mol%) ⁱPr₂NEt (2 equiv.), CH₃CN.

^bProcedure b: Pd(ii) complex (1 mol%) ⁱPr₂NEt (5 equiv.), HCO₂H (2 equiv.), CH₃CN.

^cThe reaction mixture was irradiated with a blue LED (λ_max = 462 nm)

^dThe reaction mixture was irradiated with a xenon lamp (λ_ex > 370 nm).

^eThe procedure is the same as a except TMEDA was used instead of ⁱPr₂NEt.

^fDetermined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy using 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine as an internal standard. Ts = Tosylate.
