Nickel-catalysed P–H/C–CN cross coupling reactions take place efficiently under mild reaction conditions affording the corresponding sp²C–P bonds. This transformation provides a convenient method for preparation of both arylphosphines and arylphosphine oxides from readily available P–H compounds arylnitriles.
