A small Schlenk tube was charged successively with the silica-
APTS-Pyr-Ni catalyst (25 mg; 0.005 mmol Ni), the aryl halide (0.25
mmol), and anhyd THF (1.0 mL). The mixture was stirred for 5 min
before the catalytic reaction was initiated by the dropwise addition
by syringe of the Grignard reagent (0.375 mmol) in THF (1.0 mL)
at 10 °C. The reaction was quenched by the addition of MeOH (1.0
mL). The crude product was purified by column chromatography.
