Abstract

Abstract Treatment of non-activated alkyl halides 1 with aldehydes 3 in the presence of zinc metal and chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl), DMA and/or NMP in THF brought about highly facile and effective cross-coupling to give the corresponding alcohols in good yield. These reactions are assumed to proceed through zinc reagent intermediates generated in situ.
