E. Shirakawa et al., CROSS-COUPLING REACTION OF ORGANOSTANNANES WITH ARYL HALIDES CATALYZED BY NICKEL-TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE OR NICKEL-LITHIUM HALIDE COMPLEX, Synthesis, (10), 1998, pp. 1544-1549
A nickel(0) complex used in combination with lithium bromide was found
to enhance the rate of the cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides wi
th organostannanes, whereas a Ni(0) catalyst combined with Ph3P was ap
plicable to a wide variety of aryl halides including aryl chlorides.
