Transition metal (TM) catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are the utmost versatile and
reliable methods for the production of many industrially important fine chemicals. The …

Transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling is one of the most powerful synthetic methods and
has led to vast improvements in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and …

The direct α-alkylation of acetophenones with benzhydrols as well as 1-phenylethanols
using Amberlyst-15/[Bmim][PF6] ionic liquid as an affordable catalytic system has been …

In 1979, the seminal work of Wenkert set the standards for the utilization of aryl and vinyl
ethers as coupling partners via C–O bond-cleavage. Although the topic remained dormant …

Under mild reaction conditions with inexpensive cerium and nickel catalysts, easily
accessible free alcohols can now be utilized as operationally simple and robust carbon …

We disclose a strategy for Ni-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of olefins in styrenes by
intercepting Heck C (sp3)–NiX intermediates with arylzinc reagents. This approach utilizes a …

We report a Ni-catalyzed regioselective alkylarylation of vinylarenes with alkyl halides and
arylzinc reagents to generate 1, 1-diarylalkanes. The reaction proceeds well with primary …

A user‐friendly Ni‐catalyzed reductive carboxylation of benzylic C− N bonds with CO2 is
described. This procedure outperforms state‐of‐the‐art techniques for the carboxylation of …

We disclose a [(PhO) 3P]/NiBr2-catalyzed regioselective β, δ-diarylation of unactivated
olefins in ketimines with aryl halides and arylzinc reagents. This diarylation proceeds at …

This Review examines parts per million (ppm) palladium concentrations in catalytic cross-
coupling reactions and their relationship with mole percentage (mol%). Most studies in …
