Ni(II) catalyzed bromination of aryl C–H bonds Moumita Bhattacharya, David B. Cluff, Siddhartha Das, Ni(II) catalyzed bromination of aryl C–H bonds, Inorganica Chimica Acta, Volume 423, Part A, 2014, Pages 238-241, ISSN 0020-1693, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ica.2014.08.012. (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020169314005118) Abstract: Bromination of unactivated aromatic C–H bonds without directing and/or chelating groups was achieved by employing an air stable N-heterocyclic Ni(II) complex. PhI(OAC)2 and N-bromosuccinimide have been used as the oxidizing agent and the bromine source, respectively. Yields for bromination are as high as >99%, especially in presence of electron-withdrawing groups like –NO2 and –CF3. This is a rare report on C–H bond activation with Ni(II) where, instead of homo C–C coupling, reductive elimination to form C-halogen could be achieved.
