Application

Nickel(II) chloride ethylene glycol dimethyl ether complex can be used:
  • As a catalyst for the borylation of racemic benzylic chloride to synthesize enantioenriched benzylic boronic esters.
  • As a promoter for the trifluoromethylation of alkyl iodides to synthesize broad range of alkyl-CF3 compounds.
  • For the synthesis of nickel bis(benzimidazol-2-ylidene) pincer complexes which can be used for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO.
  • As a Lewis acid catalyst for C-acylation β-ketoesters through photoactivation by visible light.
