An Indefinitely Air-Stable σ-Ni^II Precatalyst for Quantitative Cross-Coupling of Unreactive Aryl Halides and Mesylates with Aryl Neopentylglycolboronates

Abstract

Three classes of Ni precatalysts based on π-Ni^II, π-Ni⁰ and σ-Ni^II complexes have been elaborated and employed in different laboratories for the functionalization and cross-coupling of otherwise inert aryl C–O, C–Cl, and C–F electrophiles. Various Ni precatalysts, ligands, boron sources, and reaction conditions that were developed in various research groups, necessitated the selection of the most suitable conditions for desired cross-coupling partners. Here a universal, bench-stable, easily prepared Ni^IICl(1-naphthyl)(PCy₃)₂/PCy₃ σ-complex, for efficient and quantitative cross-coupling of aryl chlorides, bromides, iodides, mesylates, and fluorides with aryl neopentylglycolboronates is reported. This precatalyst will most probably help to advance the applications of Ni catalysis in organic, supramolecular, and macromolecular synthesis and will provide an easier access to the selection of reaction conditions for various transformations.

Key words

nickel - Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling - quantitative - aryl chlorides - aryl bromides - aryl fluorides - aryl mesylates
