A nickel/organoboron catalyzed metallaphotoredox platform for C(sp2)–P and C(sp2)–S bond construction

Abstract

Herein, an organoboron photocatalyst, aminoquinolate diarylboron (AQDAB), is utilized collaboratively with a nickel catalyst in metallaphotoredox catalyzed C(sp²)–P and C(sp²)–S cross-coupling reactions. This strategy effectively couples aryl halides with diarylphosphine oxides and thiols at room temperature under an air atmosphere, affording the corresponding triarylphosphine oxides and thioethers in generally moderate to good yields.
