Convenient Formation of Triarylphosphines by Nickel‐Catalyzed C–P Cross‐Coupling with Aryl Chlorides

Abstract

Abstract A convenient strategy has been developed for the preparation of various phosphine ligands in good to excellent yields through a nickel‐catalyzed C–P bond‐forming step. This reaction proceeded smoothly and tolerated a variety of functional groups to provide a new method for the synthesis of important phosphine ligands through the direct cleavage of a C–Cl bond.
