Abstract

The use of NiI2 as an air-stable Ni(II) precatalyst, and P(OiPr)3 as a cheap and commercially available ligand enables a scalable and robust cross-coupling of various thiophenols with styryl bromides, including some sterically encumbered thiols, an α-bromocinnamaldehyde as well as a thiolation-cyclization.
