title: Practical Cross-Coupling between O-Based Electrophiles and Aryl Bromides via Ni Catalysis.
abstract: Cross-coupling of various O-based electrophiles with aryl bromides was developed through Ni-catalyzed C-O activation in the presence of magnesium. Beside carboxylates, carbamates, and ethers, phenols exhibited excellent reactivity under modified conditions. This chemistry was featured as a simple and environmentally benign process with low catalyst loading and easy manipulations. The method exhibited broad substrate scopes.
