5. Additionally, NiX2 and their glyme adducts are hygroscopic, limiting their air-stability. NiCl2·glyme has also been shown to dissociate glyme spontaneously even in an anhydrous environment: Prinsell, M. R.; Everson, D. A.; Weix, D. J. Chem. Commun. 2010, 46, 5743

8. Garg has shown that NiCl2·glyme can be reduced to Ni(0) by sacrificial arylboronate ester, but this strategy is not always successful. Hie, L.; Ramgren, S. D.; Mesganaw, T.; Garg, N. K. Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 4182

30. The positive effect of K3PO4 additive in most of the test reactions suggests the possible intermediacy of a Ni-hydroxo complex as described by Monfette and coworkers at Pfizer: Christian, A. H.; Muller, P.; Monfette, S. Organometallics 2014, 33, 2134 We have been unable to isolate any such intermediates, though work in this area is ongoing
