A practical cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling of benzylic zinc reagents with aryl and heteroaryl bromides or chlorides
Résumé
A catalytic system consisting of 5 mol% CoCl2 and 10 mol% isoquinoline allows a convenient cross-coupling of benzylic zinc reagents with various aryl and heteroaryl bromides or chlorides leading to poly-functionalized diaryl-and aryl-heteroaryl-methane derivatives.
