Abstract

Functionalized arylmagnesium halides, prepared via an iodine−magnesium exchange, undergo a smooth cross-coupling reaction with functionalized primary alkyl iodides and benzylic bromides in the presence of CuCN·2LiCl, either in stoichiometric (with trimethyl phosphite as an additive) or catalytic quantities.
