Suzuki cross-coupling bathophenanthroline

Suzuki Cross-coupling Reactions. The formation of sp -sp carbon-carbon bonds is possible through the coupling of primary and secondary alkyl iodides and bromides with unsaturated boronic acids, under nickel catalysis using bathophenanthroline as ligand. As a result, an important variety of compounds bearing different functionalities can be coupled under mild conditions with good yields (eq 6). ...
