Abstract

A nickel(II) pincer complex, [(<sup>Me</sup>N<sub>2</sub>N)Ni-Cl], was used to catalyze alkyl–alkyl and alkyl–aryl Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides. The coupling of 9-alkyl-9-bo­rabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-phenyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane reagents with alkyl halides was achieved in modest to good yields. The reactions tolerated a variety of useful functional groups including ester, ether, furan, thioether, acetal, and Boc groups.
