Bimetallic Oxidative Addition in Nickel-Catalyzed Alkyl-Aryl Kumada Coupling Reactions

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich, Jan Breitenfeld

The mechanism of alkylaryl Kumada coupling catalyzed by the nickel pincer complex Nickamine was studied. Experiments using radical-probe substrates and DFT calculations established a bimetallic oxidative addition mechanism. Kinetic measurements showed that ...

Mechanistic Insights into Nickamine-catalyzed Alkyl-Alkyl Cross-coupling Reactions

Xile Hu, Jan Breitenfeld

Within the last decades the transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl halides has significantly progressed. Within the context of alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling, first row transition metals spanning from iron, over cobalt, nickel, to cop ...

Mechanistic Studies Related to Nickel-Catalyzed Alkyl-Alkyl Cross Coupling Reactions

Jan Breitenfeld

Cross-coupling reactions of non-activated alkyl halides are potentially useful chemical transformations. At the same time, however, they are challenging due to a series of unproductive side reactions. Recently, significant progress has been made to overcom ...
