Significance

Kumada-Tamao cross-coupling of aryl halides with aryl Grignard reagents using an organic-inorganic hybrid material immobilized nickel catalyst was described. The immobilized nickel catalyst (silica-APTS-Pyr-Ni) was readily prepared in five steps and subsequently used for the Kumada-Tamao reaction. Thus, the cross-coupling reaction of a variety of aryl bromides and aryl chlorides with phenylmagnesium bromide was catalyzed by silica-APTS-Pyr-Ni to give the corresponding biaryls.
