Highly Efficient, General Procedure for the Preparation of Alkylzinc Reagents from Unactivated Alkyl Bromides and Chlorides
Abstract

Alkylzinc bromides have been efficiently prepared by the direct insertion of zinc metal (dust, powder, granule, shot), activated with 1−5 mol % I2, into alkyl bromides in a polar aprotic solvent. The zinc reagents thus formed undergo Ni- and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl halides to produce functionalized alkylarenes in excellent yields.
