Abstract
A single method (2% Pd2(dba)3/8% PCyp3/NMI in THF/NMP at 80 °C; Cyp = cyclopentyl) achieves the cross-coupling of a range of β-hydrogen-containing primary alkyl iodides, bromides, chlorides, and tosylates with an array of alkyl-, alkenyl-, and arylzinc halides. The process is compatible with a variety of functional groups, including esters, amides, imides, nitriles, and heterocycles.
