Come for the cross coupling method stay for the four oxidation states of Ni! Landmark mechanistic study from @ChirikGroup’s @reggiemills28 and Team @bmsnews @stevewiz06. Congratulations.
Activation of nickel(II) is often-ignored in nickel(I/III) cross-coupling. For (FI)nickel(II), we show that well defined organometallic steps form nickel(0), enabling catalyst “activation” that recovers catalysis when radical side-reactions go off-course.
