Description:
A simple and mild catalytic arylation via C–Cl bond activation is described. The phenyl group containing a 2-trifluoromethyl group was introduced into the aromatic imine molecules through C,C-coupling reaction between chloroarenes and the organozinc reagent, bis(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)zinc, with tetrakis(trimethylphosphine)nickel(0) complex as an effective catalyst. Under catalytic conditions chlorinated benzalimines were quantitatively converted into the expected benzalimines with trifluoromethyl group(s).
