Abstract

The Kumada cross-coupling allows direct Pd-catalyzed carbon–carbon bond formation between unsaturated halides and organomagnesium reagents (without further transmetalation steps)[1, 2] and is therefore a highly atom-economical cross-coupling reaction.[3] Most of these cross-couplings follow a standard mechanism (oxidative addition, ligand exchange, reductive elimination),[4] although an alternative pathway is possible, as ...
