23. In some Ni complexes with a formally odd oxidation state for the metal, the unpaired electron is fully localized on the ligand, and the complex is Ni-silent. See, for instance: Kreisman, P.; Marsh, R.; Preer, J. R.; Gray, H. B. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1968, 90, 1067-1068.
24. Although, initially, an excess of iodide was added only to solubilize the Ni salt as tetraiodonickelate, the presence of iodide has proven to activate the reaction and is liable to operate as well as an efficient allyl activator and/or a stabilizing ligand. Without it, the reaction proceeds sluggishly.

The reflux of the crude product in THF with an excess of paraformaldehyde gave 40% of 3-hydroxy-2-[5-(2-phenylcyclopent-2-enonyl)]propionic acid (one single isomer).
