title: Nickel-catalyzed intermolecular insertion of aryl iodides to nitriles: a novel method to synthesize arylketones.
abstract: A novel procedure for the NiCl(2)(DME)/dppp/Zn system catalyzed intermolecular insertion of aryl iodides to nitriles was developed, which afforded variously substituted arylketone derivatives in moderate to good yields with tolerance of a wide variety of functional groups.
