32. The reaction of 2-bromo-and 2-chloro-N-(4-tolyl)benzamides with 2a was sluggish, giving 4aa in low yield.
33. We assume that the site of alkyne insertion switches depending on the nature of alkynes; simple less polar alkynes insert into the nickelcarbon bond, and alkynes polarized by electron-withdrawing substituents insert into the nickelnitrogen bond.
