Abstract
The cross-coupling of epoxides with acyl chlorides or anhydrides by a nickel/titanocene dual catalytic system is established. A variety of synthetically useful β-hydroxy ketones were obtained in good to high yields by using modified pyridine-oxazoline ligand. The reaction proceeds via the cooperation of titanocene-catalyzed ring-opening of epoxides and nickel-catalyzed acylation of the benzylic radical intermediate.
