Selective activation of 1,2-dichloroethane for access to β-chloroethylarenes enabled by nickel-catalyzed suzuki-type couplings

The selective conversion of one inactive C(sp3)-Cl bond of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) into C(sp3)-C(sp2) linkages for access to β-chloroethylarenes is presented here. The key to achieve the required reactivity and chemoselectivity in this synthetic method was the utilization of nickel and combinatorial nitrogen ligands as catalytic system. Synthetic advantages of this coupling chemistry included the step-simplicities to β-chloroethylarenes, the mildness and effectiveness of coupling conditions, together with the convenience for allowing further functional group transformations of the retained homobenzylic C–Cl bonds.
