Abstract
This communication describes the synthesis and reactivity of NiIV(aryl)(CF3)2 complexes supported by trispyrazolylborate and 4,4′-di-tert-butylbipyridine ligands. We demonstrate that isolable NiIV complexes can be accessed under mild conditions via the oxidation of NiII precursors with S-(trifluoromethyl)dibenzothiophenium triflate as well as with diaryliodonium and aryl diazonium reagents. The NiIV intermediates undergo high yielding aryl–CF3 bond-forming reductive elimination. These studies support the potential viability of NiIV intermediates in nickel-catalyzed coupling reactions involving diaryliodonium and aryldiazonium electrophiles.
