Abstract
A novel bis-styrene IPrNi0 derivative has been synthesized from
the reaction of Ni(COD)2 and free 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolidene
(IPr) ligand in the presence of styrene. The complex has been characterized by
spectroscopic data as well as by X-ray crystallography. Its catalytic performance
in the amination reaction of aryl tosylates is also reported. The catalytic
reactions proceed in a very selective manner, affording moderate to high yields
of cross-coupling products in short reaction times at 110 °C.
