Convenient and direct preparation of tertiary phosphines via nickel-catalysed cross-coupling

Abstract

Nickel-catalysed cross-coupling of aryl sulfonates and aryl halides with chlorodiphenylphosphine and a reductant directly affords tertiary phosphines, which have application in a wide variety of asymmetric catalysis.
