Two efficient protocols for the nickel-catalyzed aryl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions using esters as coupling components have been established. The methods enable the selective oxidative addition of nickel to acyl C-O and aryl C-O bonds and allow the aryl-alkyl cross-coupling via decarbonylative bond cleavage or through cleavage of a C-O bond with high efficiency and good functional group compatibility. The protocols allow the streamlined, unconventional utilization of widespread ester groups and their precursors, carboxylic acids and phenols, in synthetic organic chemistry.

We report nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of methoxyarenes with alkylmagnesium halides, in which a methoxy group is eliminated. A wide range of alkyl groups, including those bearing β-hydrogens, can be introduced directly at the ipso position of anisole derivatives. We demonstrate that the robustness of a methoxy group allows this alkylation protocol to be used to synthesize elaborate molecules by combining it with traditional cross-coupling reactions or oxidative transformation. The success of this method is dependent on the use of alkylmagnesium iodides, but not chlorides or bromides, which highlights the importance of the halide used in developing catalytic reactions using Grignard reagents.

In the presence of trialkylaluminum reagents, diverse aryl methyl ethers can be transformed into valuable products by C-O bond-cleaving alkylation, for the first time without the limiting β-hydride elimination. This new nickel-catalyzed dealkoxylative alkylation method enables powerful orthogonal synthetic strategies for the transformation of a variety of naturally occurring and easily accessible anisole derivatives. The directing and/or activating properties of aromatic methoxy groups are utilized first, before they are replaced by alkyl chains in a subsequent coupling process.

A novel gold-catalyzed 6-exo-dig cycloisomerization of o-propargylbiaryls has been developed that provides ready access to functionalized phenanthrenes in largely good to excellent yields. Notable features of this method are readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope.
