Communication
In this work, we have disclosed the nickel-catalyzed unactivated β-C(sp3)–H bond arylation of aliphatic acid derivatives with aryl iodides/bromides via bidentate chelation-assistance of an 8-aminoquinoline moiety. These preliminary results indicate the intrinsic catalytic potential of nickel metal for unactivated C(sp3)–H bond arylation.
