title: Pincer-Nickel-Catalyzed Allyl-Aryl Coupling between Allyl Methyl Ethers and Arylzinc Chlorides.
abstract: The P,N,N-pincer nickel complex [Ni(Cl){N(2-Ph2PC6H4)(2'-Me2NC6H4)}]-catalyzed allyl-aryl coupling was studied. The reaction of allyl methyl ethers, including (1-methoxyallyl)arenes and (3-methoxyprop-1-en-1-yl)arenes, with arylzinc chlorides afforded linear (E)-alkenes in high yields, whereas the reaction of (E)-1-methoxytridec-2-ene with p-Me2NC6H4ZnCl generated a mixture of linear and branched alkenes.
