Efficient radical coupling of organobromides using dimanganese decacarbonyl

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086433

Wurtz-type radical coupling of a variety of allylic and benzylic bromides was observed on irradiation with dimanganese decacarbonyl in excellent yield (77-99%). Efficient cross-coupling of two different bromides was also readily achieved.
