Cross-Coupling of Aryltrimethylammonium Iodides with Arylzinc Reagents Catalyzed by Amido Pincer Nickel Complexes

The cross-coupling reaction of aryltrimethylammonium iodides with aryl- or heteroarylzinc chlorides catalyzed by amido pincer nickel complexes was performed. The reaction requires low catalyst loading and displays broad substrate scope.
