J Org Chem. 2020 Jun 5;85(11):7515-7525. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.0c00250. Epub 2020 May 12.

Abstract

A nickel-catalyzed Suzuki alkyl-aryl coupling of cycloalkyl silyl peroxides with boronic acids is reported. The primary and secondary ketoalkyl electrophiles generated through C-C bond cleavage were amenable, providing rapid access to a variety of distal arylated alkyl ketones. A radical pathway is proposed for this reaction.
