Bisphosphines: A Prominent Ancillary Ligand Class for Application in Nickel-Catalyzed C–N Cross-Coupling

The Ni-catalyzed Csp2–N cross-coupling of NH substrates and (hetero)aryl (pseudo)halides for the synthesis of (hetero)anilines is in the midst of a resurgence. Reactivity breakthroughs that have been achieved in this field within the past five years have served to establish Ni catalysis as being competitive with, and in some cases superior to, more well-established Pd- or Cu-based protocols. Whereas the repurposing of useful ancillary ligands from the Pd domain has been the most frequently employed approach in the quest to develop effective Ni-based catalysts for such transformations, considerable progress has been made as of late in the design of ancillary ligands tailored specifically for use with Ni. Bisphosphine ancillary ligands have proven to be well-suited for such an approach, given their modular and facile syntheses; several variants have emerged recently that are particularly effective in enabling a range of otherwise challenging Ni-catalyzed Csp2–N cross-couplings. This Perspective presents a c...
