Abstract

How to replace the halogen atom of an akyl halide with another functional group by means of a transition metal catalyzed reaction remaine an unsolved problem.'Usually, the desired transformation doea not proceed because alkyl halides (eg R1CH2CH&; X= halogen atom) oxidatively add to low-valent transition metal complexes (Met) only slowly, and furthermore, 6-elimination reaction of metal halohydride (H-Met-X) from the oxidative adducts, Q- ...
