Aerobic oxidation-functionalization of the aryl moiety in van Koten's pincer complex (NCN)Ni(II)Br: relevance to carbon–heteroatom coupling reactions promoted by high-valent nickel species
Treating the pincer complex (NCN)NiBr with protic substrates HX (X = OH, OR, or NR2) under aerobic conditions leads to C–X functionalization of the pincer ligand. The crucial importance of aerobic conditions for the success of this coupling reaction implies the formation of high-valent intermediates during the course of the reaction.
