Abstract

Notes J. Org. Chem., Vol. 39, No. 23, 1974 3453 1: 5 mixture of hexane and diethyl ether yields only 3% of 1 over the same period at the same temperature. As summarized in Table I, a wide variety of aryl halides react readily with primary alkyllithiums to produce the cross- coupled products in high yields. On the other hand, secondary and tertiary alkyllithiums do not give the crosscoupled products in any appreciable yields under the comparable ...
