Stereospecific Nickel‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling Reactions of Alkyl Grignard Reagents and Identification of Selective Anti‐Breast‐Cancer Agents

Abstract

Alkyl Grignard reagents that contain β-hydrogen atoms were used in a stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction to form C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bonds. Aryl Grignard reagents were also utilized to synthesize 1,1-diarylalkanes. Several compounds synthesized by this method exhibited selective inhibition of proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
