Abstract

Abstract Image

Atmospheric oxygen was used for the first time as an oxidant in metal-catalyzed homocoupling of Grignard reagents. These manganese- or iron-catalyzed reactions are efficient, cheap, and eco-friendly. They are applicable to the large-scale synthesis of symmetrical conjugated compounds.
