A reductive cross-coupling of diaryl disulfides with aryl bromides via an unusual C–S bond cleavage with the aid of a nickel catalyst, Mg, and LiCl in THF at room temperature was developed, providing a variety of biaryls in reasonable yields.
Herein, we reported electro-micro-flow induced carbanion generation, and subsequently quench with the various inactive electrophile such as CO2, CS2, an aldehyde, a ketone, and electron-deficient olefins, to obtain the corresponding product.
An unusual zinc-promoted reductive coupling between alkyl bromides and thiosulfonates under nickel-free conditions is described.
The first photo-induced nickel-mediated regioselective radical–radical cross-electrophile coupling process with alkyl NHP esters and EDA complexes for alkylated allenes is described.
A catalyst-free electrochemically driven cross-electrophile esterification has been developed. Various 2-phenylacetic esters are accessed from simple and cheap alkyl halides and alkyl chloroformates with up to 98% yields.
