11. The oxidation potential for the system Pd(II)/Pd(0) is much higher than that of Ni(II)/Ni(0), therefore Ni(0) is more prone to oxidative addition; Dean, J. A. Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, 14th ed.; McGraw-Hill: New York, 1992.

13. The bond strength for nickel halides increases from iodine to chlorine, whereas those for palladium halides decreases in that order. Therefore, the energy gain from the formed metal-halide bond during oxidative addition is highest for Ni-Cl but lowest for Pd-Cl. See ref 7 and Henry, P. M.

60. Kumada couplings displayed higher levels of conversion even with electron-rich aryl chlorides (i.e., deactivated for oxidative addition) in the same reaction times as aromatic aminations (albeit in different solvents, THF vs toluene). Hence, oxidative addition is not likely to be rate-limiting.
61. That different mechanistic pathways are operating for reductive elimination with different ligands cannot be ruled out; e.g., triggering of reductive elimination by SET: (a) Tsou, T. T.; Kochi, J. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1978, 100, 1634. (b) Morrell, D. G.; Kochi, J. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1975, 97, 7262. (c) Koo, K.; Hillhouse, G. L. Organometallics 1995, 14, 4421. See also ref 40.

80. 2 was also used recently for cross-couplings of alkyl halides with alkyl Grignard reagents. Similar to our results, ligandless reactions did not provide the desired products, addition of 1,3-butadiene derivatives as ligands was required.
