Abstract:
The pursuit of sustainable and environmentally benign methods and techniques continues to challenge organic chemists. Herein, we report the development of a novel approach in which electromagnetic induction could participate in the coupling of organic chlorides using a rotating magnetic field and metal rods. In particular, we describe the application of this strategy to the nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl chlorides with alkyl chlorides. Using these abundant and commercially available organochlorides, such a system allows reactions to proceed with a broader scope than the current protocols under mild conditions.

Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
