With the new conditions in hand, we explored the hypothesis that an additional halide source might serve to improve photocatalyst recovery, thereby enabling the Ni(I)/Ni(III) cycle to turn over a greater number of times before deactivation. We screened bromide as an additive with the hypothesis that it would increase the reaction rate through faster catalyst turnover. Indeed, we found that in the coupling between model substrates 4-bromobenzotrifluoride (4-BrBzCF3) and benzyl alcohol (BzOH), tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) increased the conversion by 32% at the 3-hour time point (Fig. , entry 2), which is well outside of the well-to-well variability (std. dev. = 2.1%) of our setup. Next, since aryl chlorides are challenging substrates in dual Ni/photoredox methodologies, we tested 4-chlorobenzotrifluoride (4-ClBzCF3) as a substrate with the hypothesis that slower deactivation could improve the coupling with this substrate. As with the aryl bromide, the coupling with 4-ClBzCF3 had higher conversion with bromide additive (entry 4) relative to no additive (entry 3).
