Abstract
The formation of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds by cross-coupling remains a challenge in synthesis. Here, we demonstrate a two-step, one-pot protocol for the in situ generation of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters and their nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling with unactivated alkyl bromides for the construction of 1°/1 ° C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds. The conditions tolerate an array of functional groups, and mechanistic studies indicate that both substrates are converted to alkyl radicals during the reaction.
