Abstract
Aryl halides are efficiently coupled to benzene using air-stable Ni(COD)(DQ) (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, DQ = duroquinone) and KOtBu, without additional ligands. Mechanistic evidence suggests that Ni(COD)(DQ) and KOtBu act as an initiation source, forming aryl radicals that then react with the arene via base-assisted homolytic aromatic substitution.
