61. Also, an assumed three-centered transition state of the Ni-NHC species and the Grignard reagent is possible. Synergistic interaction between the nucleophilic nickel and Lewis acidic magnesium that activates the aryl-X bond might facilitate this step. A similar transition state was proposed by Nakamura et al.
