Abstract

Room-temperature Ni(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of deactivated aryl chlorides with arylboronic acids with inexpensive triphenylphosphine as ligand have been accomplished in good to excellent yields. Highly active nickel catalysts were obtained through the reduction of air-stable Ni(PPh3)2Cl2 with n-BuLi in the presence of an aryl chloride.
