TRANSITION METAL ?-COMPLEXES IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS 5. CROSS-COUPLING OF ORGANOMANGANESE COMPOUNDS WITH ALKENYL IODIDES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01168100

Aryl organomanganese compounds ArMnX and Ph3MnLi (Ar = Ph, p-MeC6H4, p-MeOC6H4, p-ClC6H4, p-BrC6H4, α-naphthyl; X = Cl, Br) react with alkenyl iodides RR¹C=CR²I (R = H, Pr, Bu, i-Bu, C6H13, CH2=CHCH2, Ph; R¹ = H, Pr, C5H11; R² = H, Pr, SiMe3) in THF at 0-20 deg C to give cross-coupling products RR¹C=CR²Ar in high yields.
