The nickel-catalyzed decarbonylation of unstrained diaryl ketones has been developed. The reaction is catalyzed by a combination of Ni(cod) 2 and an electron-rich N -heterocyclic carbene ligand. High functional group tolerance and excellent yields (up to 98%) are observed. This strategy provides an alternative and versatile approach to construct biaryls using an inexpensive nickel catalyst.
