Nickel-Catalyzed ortho-Selective Cross-Coupling Reaction of Unactivated Difluoroaromatic Ketones with Aryltitanium–LiCl Reagents
摘要
Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between unactivated difluorosubstituted aromatic ketones and aryltitanium reagents in the presence of a ligand and LiCl as an additive is reported, showing excellent ortho-selectivity. The reaction exhibits good functional group tolerance and a wide substrate range, providing medium to high yields of the ortho-arylated products.
