Decarbonylative Cross-Coupling of Cyclic Anhydrides: Introducing Stereochemistry at an sp3 Carbon in the Cross-Coupling Event

Abstract
Treatment of cyclic anhydrides with stoichiometric amounts of nickel−neocuproine complex generates alkylcarboxylato−nickelalactones upon extrusion of CO. These metalacycles undergo cross-coupling with arylzinc reagents. The generated CO is sequestered in situ by a nickel−dppb complex. The overall sequence effects a secondary sp3(electrophile)−sp2(nucleophile) cross-coupling and allows for control of stereochemistry during the bond-forming event.
