Abstract

This work describes Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of benzyl chloroformate derivatives with aryl iodides that generates a wide range of diaryl methane products. The mild reaction conditions merit the C-O bond radical fragmentation of benzyl chloroformates via halide abstraction or a single electron reduction by a Ni catalyst. This work offers a new substrate type for cross-electrophile couplings.
