title: Nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings of organosilicon reagents with unactivated secondary alkyl bromides.
abstract: A metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of organosilicon compounds with alkyl halides has been developed. Noteworthy attributes of the method are its scope (secondary electrophiles), its high functional-group compatibility, and the air stability of the catalyst components.
