Table 2. Alkyl Bromide Scope in Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Chloropurinesa,b.

Standard conditions: 0.17 mmol 1, 2 equiv of alkyl bromide, 2 mol % lr[dF(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)PF6, 10 mol % [Ni(dtbbpy)(H2O)4]CI2, 1 equiv of (TMS)3SiOH, 3 equiv of Na2CO3, DMF (0.10 M).
Isolated yields.
For alkyl bromides with the potential to form new diastereomers after coupling, one major diastereomer was isolated, sometimes containing a small amount of the minor diastereomer.
