The Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl ethers is a powerful method to forge new C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. However, the inert C(sp2)-O bond means that a canonical mechanism that relies on the oxidative addition of the aryl ether to a Ni0 center is thermodynamically and kinetically unfavorable, which suggests that alternative mechanisms may be involved. Here, we provide spectroscopic and structural insights into the anionic pathway, which relies on the formation of electron-rich hetero-bimetallic nickelates by adding organometallic nucleophiles to a Ni0 center. Assessing the rich co-complexation chem. between Ni(COD)2 and PhLi has led to the structures and solution-state chem. of a diverse family of catalytically competent lithium nickelates being unveiled. In addition, we demonstrate dramatic solvent and donor effects, which suggest that the cooperative activation of the aryl ether substrate by Ni0-ate complexes plays a key role in the catalytic cycle.
