Abstract

A cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling of diarylmanganese reagents with secondary alkyl iodides using the THF-soluble salt CoCl2. 2LiCl, which leads to the cross-coupling products in up to 92% yield, is reported. High diastereoselectivities can be reached in these cross-couplings (dr up to 99:1). Remarkably, rearrangement of secondary alkyl iodides to unbranched products was not observed in these C-C forming reactions.
