Dual ligand systems for cross-coupling of challenging C(sp2) and C(sp3) electrophiles.
TS-059018 — An unusual series
of ligand exchange reactions establishes a dualcatalyst system for electroreductive alkyl-aryl cross-electrophile couplings
of previously incompatible substrate combinations.
Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions of aryl and alkyl electrophiles are desirable methodologies for C–C bond formation but are limited to specific substrate classes. Couplings of widely-available electrophiles such as aryl chlorides or triflates are currently unknown with any alkyl b…
