Nickel‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Aryltrimethylammonium Iodides with Organozinc Reagents

Abstract

Broad scope and good tolerance: An efficient cross-coupling of aryltrimethylammonium iodide salts with aryl-, methyl-, and benzylzinc chlorides catalyzed by [Ni(PCy3)2Cl2] has been achieved (see scheme). The reaction involves cleavage of the CN bond and displays broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. NMP=N-methylpyrrolidine.
