Nickel(0)/Imidazolium Carbene Catalyst System for Efficient Cross‐Coupling of Aryl Bromides and Chlorides with Organomanganese Reagents.

Abstract

The Ni(0)-IPr complex efficiently catalyzes the cross-coupling of aryl halides with arylmanganese chlorides under mild conditions. A wide range of functional groups is tolerated but enolizable ketones, nitroarenes and carbonyl compounds are not suitable for this method. -(LELEU, A.; FORT, Y.; SCHNEIDER*, R.; Adv. Synth.
