Alkylation with ketones as the limiting reagent. ^[a]

^[a]Unless otherwise noted, all reactions were run with 0.2 mmol of 1, 0.12 mmol of L1, 13 equiv of alkene in 0.1 mL of toluene; all yields are isolated yields; selectivities were determined by ¹H NMR or GC-MS of the crude products.

^[b]3 equiv of 2m was used.

^[c]The reaction was run at 150 °C and the mixture was further treated with 6 M HCl at 110 °C for 1 h.
