Dilithium tetrachlorocuprate catalyzed coupling of allylmagnesium bromide with α,ω-dihaloalkanes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408010156

Allylmagnesium bromide has been shown to cross-couple with α,ω- dihaloalkanes in the presence of dilithium tetrachlorocuprate to yield, depending on reaction conditions, mono-coupled haloalkenes or di-coupled alkadienes. The order of the reactivity of the dihalides is I > Br >> CI and secondary halides show greater reactivity than primary halides.
