摘要

A modified Weix's reductive coupling for alkylation of amidoaryl bromides based on Ni(COD)(2) precatalyst and 2,2'-dipyridyl ligand was developed. This reaction is reliable for amidophenyl bromides and gives yields up to 87%, and is potentially useful in the synthesis of amidophenyl-containing molecules.
