Hi. Tashtoush et R. Sustmann, FREE-RADICAL COUPLING OF ALKYL AND ARYL HALIDES WITH ELECTRON-DEFICIENT ALKENES MEDIATED BY CHROMIUM(II) COMPLEXES .2., Chemische Berichte, 126(7), 1993, pp. 1759-1761
Free radicals generated from organic halides and (ethylenediamine)chro
mium(II) complexes in DMF are trapped by electron-deficient olefins. T
he coupling reactions of alkyl halides, described in Part I[1], are ex
tended and, in addition, aryl halides are shown to be efficient radica
l precursors to yield coupling products in good yield.
