A trisphosphine ligand with a triarylbenzene backbone was employed to support mono-nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes. Two phosphine arms coordinated to the metal center, while the third phosphine was found to form a C-P bond with dearomatization of the central arene. Deprotonation effected the rearomatization of the central ring and metal reduction from M(II) to M(0). The overall conversion corresponds to a functionalization of an unactivated arene C-H bond to a C-P bond. This transformatio ...[more]
