The nickel-catalyzed α-arylation of ketones with readily available phenol derivatives (esters and carbamates) provides access to useful α-arylketones. For this transformation, 3,4-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)thiophene (dcypt) was identified as a new, enabling, air-stable ligand for this transformation. The intermediate of an assumed C-O oxidative addition was isolated and characterized by X-ray crystal-structure analysis.
镍催化酮与易得的酚衍生物(酯和氨基甲酸酯)的α-芳基化反应为有用的α-芳基酮提供了途径。对于这种转化,3,4-双(二环己基膦基)噻吩(dcypt)被确定为这种转化的一种新的、有效的、空气稳定的配体。通过 X 射线晶体结构分析分离并表征了假定的 C-O 氧化加成的中间体。
