Nickel-catalyzed electrochemical coupling of aryl, heteroaryl or vinyl halides with activated alkyl chlorides:: Synthetic and stereochemical aspects

We report coupling reactions of aryl, heteroaryl or vinyl halides with activated alkyl halides, using nickel catalysis combined with an electrochemical process. Synthetic and stereochemical aspects are presented. This minireview highlights electrosynthesis in the field of synthesis and catalysis.
