title: Room-temperature Kumada cross-coupling of unactivated aryl chlorides catalyzed by N-heterocylic carbene-based nickel(II) complexes.
abstract: The Kumada cross-coupling reaction of a variety of unactivated aryl chlorides, vinyl chlorides, and heteroaryl chlorides catalyzed by nickel(II) complexes containing pyridine-functionalized NHC ligands is described. The catalysts are so active that the reactions proceed at room temperature in excellent yields.
