Abstract
Addition of terpyridine to (TMEDA)Ni(CH3)2 results in the high-yield formation of (terpyridyl)NiMe (3). This NiI organometallic complex was found to be capable of transferring its methyl group to iodocyclohexane to produce methylcyclohexane in high yield. Compound 3 can also serve as an initiator for the catalytic cross-coupling of alkyl electrophiles performed under Negishi-like conditions.
