Presented herein is a general protocol for the alkylation of simple aryl fluorides with unbiased secondary Grignard reagents by means of nickel catalysis. This study revealed a general Thorpe–Ingold effect in the ligand backbone which confers a high degree of selectivity for the secondary carbon center in the C−C coupling event. This protocol is characterized by mild reaction conditions, robustness
iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl chlorides with unactivated alkylchlorides via an iron/B2pin2 catalytic system has been developed. (Hetero)aryl chlorides undergo this transformation smoothly under mild conditions, furnishing the alkylated products with good efficiency. This protocol features excellent functional group compatibility and gram-scale synthesis, which also enables the late-stage functionalization
