Transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylation via carbon–carbon bond cleavage is an
essential synthetic methodology. Given the ubiquity of carbonyl compounds, the selective …

A ligand-controlled and site-selective nickel catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling
reaction with aromatic esters and alkyl organoboron reagents as coupling partners was …

Conspectus Aromatic esters are cost-effective, versatile, and commonly used scaffolds that
are readily synthesized or encountered as synthetic intermediates. While most conventional …

Amide bond formation and transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling are two of the most
frequently used chemical reactions in organic synthesis. Recently, an overlap between …

Ni-catalyzed C–P bond formation was achieved using aromatic esters as unconventional
aryl sources. The key to success was the use of a thiophene-based diphosphine ligand …

A protocol for the nickel-catalyzed alkylation of amides was established. The use of
alkylboranes as nucleophilic partners allowed the use of mild reaction conditions and …

A decarbonylative aryl thioether synthesis by nickel catalysis is described. After optimization
of the reaction conditions, two air-stable Ni catalytic systems [Ni (OAc) 2/P n Bu3 and Ni …

A Ni-catalyzed decarbonylative methylation of aromatic esters was achieved using
methylaluminums as methylating agents. Dimethylaluminum chlorides uniquely worked as …

An unprecedented conversion of methyl esters to stannanes was realized, providing access
to a series of arylstannanes via nickel catalysis. Various common esters including ethyl …

A catalytic ester transfer reaction of aromatic esters with aryl halides/arenols was developed.
The present reaction can transfer an ester functional group from certain aromatic esters to …
