Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reaction of Aryl Halides with Allylic Zirconium Reagents Generated in situ from Zirconocene(alkene) Complexes

Abstract

Allylic zirconium reagents that are generated in situ via allylic C-H bond activation of alkenes proved to serve as metal counterparts in nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

zirconium - cross-coupling - nickel - C-H bond activation - allylic metal
