title: Synthesis of Cp*CH2PPh2 and its use as a ligand for the nickel-catalysed cross-coupling reaction of alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagents.
abstract: A new ligand, Cp*CH2PPh2 (Cp* = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethyl-2,4-cyclopentadienyl), was prepared, and was used as a ligand for nickel-catalysed cross-coupling reaction of alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagents, which nickel-phosphine complexes had never made possible.
