| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Alkylation reactions of arenes without ortho-directing groups have been investigated using alkenes as alkylating agents. First, we have found that nickel complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbenes catalyze the reaction of benzene with 1-alkenes with unprecedentedly high linear selectivity to give linear alkylbenzenes. We have also shown that the nickel complexes in combination with aluminum-based Lewis acid cooperatively catalyze para- or meta-selective alkylation of benzenes bearing heteroatom-containing substituents such as aromatic carbonyl compounds, aromatic sulfonyl compounds, and anilides.
