AbstractNickel-catalyzed carbon–oxygen bond activation is one of the most powerful strategies for the direct construction of various biaryl compounds. Under nickel catalysis, efficiently produced and naturally abundant arenol-based electrophiles can be activated and coupled with different aryl nucleophiles, including nucleophiles containing magnesium, zinc, boron, etc., to produce biaryl structural units. This Account summarizes recent progress on biaryl synthesis via nickel-catalyzed C–O bond activation.1 Introduction2 Coupling of Arenols and Arenol Derivatives with Aryl Magnesium Reagents3 Coupling of Arenols and Arenol Derivatives with Aryl Zinc Reagents4 Coupling of Arenols and Arenol Derivatives with Aryl Boron Reagents5 Others6 Conclusion

A mild method to convert silyloxyarenes to pinacol boronic esters using nickel catalysis is described. In contrast to other borylation protocols of relatively inert C–O bonds, the method is competent in activating the carbon-oxygen bond of silyloxyarenes in isolated aromatic systems lacking a directing group. The catalytic functionalization of benzyl silyl ethers was also achieved under these conditions. Orthogonal reactivity of silyloxyarenes vs other electrophiles was demonstrated in the case of several cross-coupling reactions wherein the unaffected silyloxarene could be functionalized subsequently.

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplings have been recognized as a powerful tool for sustainable syntheses. Despite the fact that remarkable progress was achieved by palladium and nickel catalysis, the high price and toxicity still remained a drawback. Recently, naturally more abundant and less toxic low-valent chromium salts, such as Cr(II) and Cr(III) chlorides, displayed notable unique catalytic reactivity. Thus, recent progress in the field of chromium-catalyzed cross-couplings and related reactions are highlighted in the present short review until December­ 2018.1 Introduction and Early Chromium-Mediated Reactions2 Chromium-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings and Related Reactions3 Conclusion
