Abstract

Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Cleavage of Aryl-Oxygen Bonds in Alkoxy-and Pivaloxyarenes Using Hydrosilanes as a Mild Reducing Agent. -The present protocol allows the use of a pivalate group as a robust and traceless steering group in arene functionalization reactions. -(TOBISU*, M.; YAMAKAWA, K.; SHIMASAKI, T.; CHATANI, N.; Chem.
