Abstract
A Ni/1-bpp catalyst was demonstrated to be effective in the Negishi alkylation with multiple classes of alkylpyridinium salts, including α-primary and α-secondary. These conditions are also effective for benzylic pyridinium salts, demonstrating the successful Negishi alkylation of benzylic pyridinium salts for the first time. Further, 14 derivatives of 1-bpp were prepared with a variety of steric and electronic properties to study how these changes impact the success of the Negishi alkylation.
