Popis: A nickel/dppf catalyst system was found to successfully achieve the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of 3- and 4-chloropyridine and of 6-chloroquinoline but not of 2-chloropyridine or of other α-halo-N-heterocycles. Further investigations revealed that chloropyridines undergo rapid oxidative addition to [Ni(COD)(dppf)] but that α-halo-N-heterocycles lead to the formation of stable dimeric nickel species that are catalytically inactive in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. However, the corresponding Kumada–Tamao–Corriu reactions all proceed readily, which is attributed to more rapid transmetalation of Grignard reagents.
Nickel complexes with a dppf ligand can form inactive dinickel(ii) complexes during Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. However, these complexes can react with Grignard reagents in Kumada–Tamao–Corriu cross-coupling reactions.
