ABSTRACT:
A single method (2% Pd2(dba)3/8% PCyp3/NMI (NMI = N-methylimidazole) in THF/NMP at 80 .degree.C; Cyp = cyclopentyl) achieves the cross-coupling of a range of .beta.-hydrogen-contg. primary alkyl iodides, bromides, chlorides, and tosylates with an array of alkyl-, alkenyl-, and arylzinc halides. E.g., Pd2(dba)3/8% PCyp3/NMI catalyzed the coupling reaction of BnO(CH2)3Br with BuZnBr to give 70% BnO(CH2)3Bu. The process is compatible with a variety of functional groups, including esters, amides, imides, nitriles, and heterocycles.
