(12) Typical Procedure for the Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of
Di(hetero)arylmanganese Reagents with Alkyl Halides
A dry and argon-flushed 20 mL Schlenk tube, equipped with a
stirring bar and a septum, was charged with anhydrous FeCl2
(25 mg, 0.20 mmol, 20 mol%). The alkyl halide (1 mmol, 1.0
equiv) in THF (1 mL) was added, and the mixture was cooled to
–20 °C. The di(hetero)arylmanganese reagent (0.7 mmol, 0.7
equiv) was added dropwise, and the mixture was allowed to
