15. Milder reaction conditions can be employed with modified Co catalysts; however, these catalysts are not readily available. For example, the preparation involves purification by column chromatography under an inert atmosphere: Fatland, A. W.; Eaton, B. E. Org. Lett. 2000, 2, 3131.

25. Ni complexes readily undergo oxidative addition of both alkyl- and aryl- CN bonds. For example, Ni complexes catalyze the carbocyanation of alkynes: (a) García, J. J.; Arévalo, A.; Brunkan, N. M.; Jones, W. D. Organometallics 2004, 23, 3997.

28. Ni complexes are known to cause homodimerization of nitriles (see ref 9).
29. Both SIPr and IPr ligands readily dissociate from Ni(0). even upon the addition of COD (see ref 10a).
30. Unsaturated analogue IPr gave slightly lower conversion under identical reaction conditions (99% versus 66% for SIPr and IPr, respectively) (IPr = 1,3-bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; SIPr = 1,3-bis-(2,6- diisopropylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene).
31. This is in contrast to the Ni/NHC-catalyzed route to pyridones where electron-deficient isocyanates required elevated temperatures for complete cycloaddition (see ref 11).
