Convenient Formation of Triarylphosphines by Nickel‐Catalyzed C–P Cross‐Coupling with Aryl Chlorides

A convenient strategy has been developed for the preparation of various phosphine ligands in good to excellent yields through a nickel-catalyzed C-P bond-forming step. This reaction proceeded smoothly and tolerated a variety of functional groups to provide a new method for the synthesis of important phosphine ligands through the direct cleavage of a C-Cl bond.
