Various aryl-, alkenyl-, and/or alkyllithium species reacted smoothly with aryl and/or benzyl ethers with cleavage of the inert C−O bond to afford cross-coupled products, catalyzed by commercially available [Ni(cod)2] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) catalysts with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. Furthermore, the coupling reaction between the aryllithium compounds and aryl ammonium salts proceeded under mild conditions with C−N bond cleavage in the presence of a [Pd(PPh3)2Cl2] catalyst. These methods enable selective sequential functionalizations of arenes having both C−N and C−O bonds in one pot.
