Cross Coupling of Non-Activated Alkyl Halides by a Nickel Pincer Complex

Xile Hu

Non-activated alkyl halides are challenging substrates for cross-coupling reactions because they are reluctant to undergo oxidative addition and because metal alkyl intermediates are prone to β-H elimination. Despite recent progress, well-defined catalysts ...
