Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions of Unactivated Alkyl Halides Catalyzed by a Nickel Pincer Complex
A nickel(II) pincer complex, [((N2N)-N-Me)Ni-Cl], was used to catalyze alkyl-alkyl and alkyl-aryl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides. The coupling of 9-alkyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-phenyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane reagents with alkyl halides was achieved in modest to good yields. The reactions tolerated a variety of useful functional groups including ester, ether, furan, thioether, acetal, and Boc groups.
