Abstract

A nickel-catalyzed direct reductive cross-coupling of disubstituted cycloalkyl iodides with aryl iodides was developed. The one-pot reaction, which is simple to operate, was capable of proceeding efficiently in a stereocontrolled manner to afford a variety of cross-coupled products with high diastereoselectivity and wide functional group tolerance.
