There are disclosed a process for producing a coupling compound of formula (1): (Y-)(n-1)R<1>-R<2>-(R<1>)(n'-1) wherein R<1> and R<2> independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, which process is characterized by reacting an unsaturated organic compound of formula (2): n'(R<1>X<1> n) wherein n, n', and R<1> are the same as defined above, and X<1> is the same or different and independently represents a leaving group and bonded with a sp2 carbon atom of R<1> group, with a boron compound of formula (3): m äR<2>(BX<2> 2)n'ü wherein R<2> and n' are the same as defined above, X<2> represents a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, in the presence of a catalyst containing (A)a nickel compound, and (B)a nitrogen-containing cyclic compound, and the catalyst. |
