Reductive elimination is a key step in Ni-catalysed cross-couplings, which is often considered to result in new covalent bonds. Due to the weak oxidizing ability of Ni(II) species, reductive eliminations from Ni(II) centers are challenging. A thorough mechanistic understanding of this process could inspire the rational design of Ni-catalysed coupling reactions.

The mechanism of the Ni-catalysed trifluoromethylthiolation of aryl chlorides using AgSCF is studied herein. A variety of IPr Ni complexes were synthesized oxidative addition of Ni to 2-(2-chloro)phenylpyridines. Their reactivity with AgSCF was tested by performing stoichiometric experiments, cyclic voltammetry, and NMR spectroscopic studies.

DFT studies reveal that Ni-catalysed redox-relay hydroarylation of alkenes occurs concerted hydronickelation, iterative β-H elimination/migratory insertion and reductive elimination to yield the α-substituted product. The driving force for the redox-relay migratory hydroarylation arises from the stability of the LArNi(II)CHPhPr intermediate, which only allows its C-C elimination pathway to be opened up.

The Ni-catalysed cross-coupling of aryl ethers is a powerful method to forge new C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. However, the inert C(sp )-O bond means that a canonical mechanism that relies on the oxidative addition of the aryl ether to a Ni centre is thermodynamically and kinetically unfavourable, which suggests that alternative mechanisms may be involved. Here, we provide spectroscopic and structural insights into the anionic pathway, which relies on the formation of electron-rich hetero-bimetallic nickelates by adding organometallic nucleophiles to a Ni centre.

The in situ formation mechanisms of active Ni-carboryne species (COM1) and subsequent alkene/alkyne Ni-C bond insertion priorities, as well as relevant cycloaddition regioselectivities and kinetics, were investigated using the IDSCRF-B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) method, and all atoms were equitably treated at the DGDZVP level. The results reveal the o-carborane species to be energetically hedged into a four-step path (barrier heights 5.3, 19.
