Nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative coupling for access to biaryl motifs

The goal of this research project was to design a sustainable catalytic cross-coupling reaction using nickel and carboxylic acid derivatives and apply it to the synthesis biaryls. A low-cost route to a variety of functionalized bis(hetero)aryl and biaryl motifs has been developed using aryl esters a...
