title: Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of non-activated and functionalized alkyl halides with alkyl Grignard reagents.
abstract: Reacting in the 'Ni'ck of time: The title reaction is realized by using an isolated Ni(II) complex (1). The catalysis tolerates a wide range of important functional groups that are often incompatible with Grignard reagents in cross-coupling reactions.
