α-Aryl amines are prevalent in pharmaceutically active compounds and natural products. Herein, we describe a Ni-catalyzed protocol for their synthesis from readily available α-aryl ethers. While α-aryl ethers have been used as electrophiles in Ni-catalyzed C-C bond formations, their use in C-heteroatom bond formation is much less prevalent. Preliminary mechanistic insight suggests that oxidative addition is facilitated by an anionic ligand and that reductive elimination is a reversible process.
