Large-Scale Cobalt-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings of Functionalized Bench-Stable Arylzinc Pivalates with (Hetero)Aryl and Alkenyl Halides­

Published as part of the Special Topic Cobalt in Organic Synthesis

Abstract

A robust and scalable CoCl₂-catalyzed cross-coupling between functionalized arylzinc pivalates and various electron-poor (hetero)aryl and alkenyl halides is reported.

Key words

cobalt - zinc pivalate - catalysis - cross-coupling - N-heterocycles
