Abstract
A novel method for the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkyl chlorides and Grignard reagents has been developed. Good to excellent yields of the coupling products were obtained at room temperature, and functional groups such as ethers, esters, acetals, fluorides, nitriles, aryl and benzyl were tolerated.
