Table 3.
Reactions with mononuclear arenes were run on 0.5 mmol scale under the standard conditions and with 10/20 mol % of [Ni(cod)2]/dppf. For polynuclear arenes, 1 mmol (2.0 equiv) starting arene was used. Reported yields are of isolated products and the ratio of constitutional isomers (in parentheses) was determined by 1H NMR of the crude reaction mixtures.
