5. Shortly after ref. [3] was published, D. J. Weix reported that NHPI esters could undergo reductive cross-coupling with aryl iodides using Zn0as the reducing agent: K. M. M. Huihui, J. A. Caputo, Z. Melchor, A. M. Olivares, A. M. Spiewak, K. A. Jonhson, T. A. DiBenedetto, S. Kim, L. K. G. Ackerman, D. J. Weix, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 5016.

12. As mentioned in ref. [3], redox-active esters are analogous to alkyl halides. Thus, a mechanistic parallel can be directly drawn to pioneering work in the area of Ni-catalyzed single-electron transfer cross-coupling of those species, see:

39. The capture of similar radicals was also invoked during the decarboxylative coupling of α-heteroatom stabilized acids with aryl halides: Z. Zuo, D. T. Ahneman, L. Chu, J. A. Terrett, A. G. Doyle, D. W. C. MacMillan, Science 2014, 345, 437.
