We recently reported that a nickel/bathophenanthrolinebased catalyst accomplishes Hiyama couplings [1] of unactivated secondary alkyl electrophiles for the first time [Eq.(1), DMSO= dimethyl sulfoxide].[2] Although this represented a step forward in the expansion of the scope of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions,[3, 4] it was not an ideal solution from at least three standpoints: First, the yields of the Hiyama reactions were moderate (60–82%); second, the method was not generally effective for activated secondary alkyl halides; and third, only bipyridine-type ligands that lack a substituent ortho to the nitrogen atom furnished useful catalysts (that is, bathophenanthroline, 1, 10-phenanthroline, and 2, 2о-bipyridine, but not neocuproine). This sensitivity to substitution represented a significant impediment to our long-term goal of achieving asymmetric Hiyama reactions, since virtually all of the effective chiral bipyridines that have been described have groups in the ortho position.[5] In 2006 we reported that an amino alcohol can serve as a useful ligand for cross-coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl electrophiles [Suzuki coupling reactions: Eq.(2), HMDS= 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-hexamethyldisilazane].[6] Unfortunately, when we attempted a Hiyama reaction with trans-2-aminocyclohexanol [cyclohexyl bromide and F3SiPh, Eq.(1)], we obtained none of the desired cross-coupling product.Despite this initial discouraging result, we recognized that a diverse array of amino alcohols are readily (and commercially) available, and we decided to explore the possibility that one such ligand might enable us to address the shortcomings of our first-generation catalyst for Hiyama reactions of alkyl halides. After considerable effort, we were pleased to determine that, in the presence of norephedrine, we can achieve the cross-coupling of cyclohexyl bromide with F3SiPh in very good yield (Table1, entry1).[7] As illustrated in
