Uses

[1,3-Bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]dichloronickel(II) acts as a catalyst in numerous organic reactions, including the Heck reaction, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, Kumada coupling, and the polymerization of poly(3-alkoxythiophenes). Additionally, it is utilized in the synthesis of block-copolythiophenes, solid-state metathesis polycondensation, and diastereoselective Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling reactions. The compound is also employed as a precursor for synthesizing metal-fullerene coordination complexes and serves as an effective catalyst in various transformations, such as the N-heterocycle-directed cross-coupling of fluorinated arenes, semihydrogenation of internal alkynes, and borylation of halides and pseudohalides.
