摘要

Herein, we report a general new method to generate monohaloarenes through Ni-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reactions. Dihaloarenes bearing directing groups, such as amide, sulfonamide, and ester groups, underwent meta- and para-selective cross-coupling with arylzinc reagents in the presence of inexpensive and readily available Ni(acac)2-based catalysts. Specifically, 2-(di-tert-butylphosphaneyl)-4-methoxy-N,N-dimethylaniline was identified as the optimal ligand. Notably, bromo and chloro groups ortho to the directing groups remained intact under the reaction conditions, demonstrating high functional-group compatibility. We anticipate that this method will open a new avenue for "remote control" strategies in site-selective organic synthesis.
