A simple, ligand-free synthesis of the important bipyridyl ligand 4,4'-di-<i>tert</i>-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine is presented. 5,5'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine is also synthesized by the same protocol. The syntheses efficiently couple the parent 2-chlorpyridies by a nickel-catalyzed dimerization with manganese powder as the terminal reductant. ...[more]
