Ca. Quesnelle et al., DIRECTED ORTHO-METALATION - CROSS-COUPLING CONNECTIONS - NICKEL(0)-CATALYZED CROSS-COUPLING OF ARYL TRIFLATES WITH ORGANOZINC REAGENTS, Synlett, (5), 1994, pp. 349-350
Aryl zinc reagents, derived by directed ortho metalation, undergo cros
s coupling with aryl triflates under Ni(0) catalysis to provide a gene
ral, regiospecific method for the synthesis of diverse functionalized
biaryls (Table).
