Abstract

A reductive coupling of a vinyl-substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic and an alkyl bromide or iodide occurs in an aqueous micellar medium in the presence of Zn and a catalytic amount of an Fe(II) salt at rt. The new C-C bond is regiospecifically formed at rt at the β-site of the alkene via a radical process.
