<p>This work bridges a gap in the cross-coupling of aliphatic
redox-active esters with aryl zinc reagents. Previously limited to
primary, secondary and specialized tertiary centers, a new protocol
has been devised to enable the coupling of general tertiary systems
using Ni-catalysis. The scope of this operationally simple method is
broad and can be used to simplify the synthesis of medicinally
relevant motifs bearing quaternary centers.
