Abstract Alkyl aryl ketones were prepared on a gram scale by the nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkyl iodides with aroyl chlorides. When scaled up 30-fold, this reaction shows a comparable coupling efficiency to the previously reported reaction performed under small-scale conditions. The mild and convenient reaction conditions show excellent tolerance to a range of functional groups and provide

highlights Ni-catalyzed reductivecoupling of alkyl acids with alkyl halides, particularly sterically hindered unactivated tertiary alkyl bromides for the production of all carbon quaternary ketones. The reductive strategy is applicable to α-selective synthesis of saturated, fully oxygenated C-acyl glycosides through easy manipulations of the readily available sugar bromides and alkyl acids, avoiding otherwise
