A Ni-catalyzed stannylation of aryl esters with air- and moisture-insensitive silylstannyl reagents via Csp2 -O cleavage is described. This protocol is characterized by its wide scope, including challenging combinations, thus enabling access to versatile building blocks and orthogonal C-heteroatom bond formations.
Keywords: C−O cleavage; aryl esters; cross-coupling; nickel.
