Ni-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions play an important role in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The Ni(II) s-aryl complex is believed to be the oxidative addition product in the catalytic cycle of Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Two new air-stable Ni(II) s-aryl complexes have been synthesized and successfully applied as catalysts for the Suzuki cross-coupling of chloroarenes and arylboronic acids. This cross-coupling reaction tolerates a variety of functional groups.
