51. The reaction of the bromide analogue of 1a with 2a also led to 3a in 57 % yield. The reactivity of bromides, chlorides, fluorides, and tertiary iodides is under investigation.
52. The presence of heteroatoms in the substrate is not necessary for the reaction to take place. Thus, we have performed the cross-coupling reaction of 1-iodo-3-phenylpropane with 3-pentylzinc bromide under the standard conditions, which afforded the expected product in approximately 60% yield. Moreover, the reaction of 1-(but-3-enyl)-2-iodocyclopentane with the same organozinc compound gave the corresponding cyclization/cross-coupling derivative in about 70 % yield. Again in these cases, these low polarity compounds could not be separated from by-products by column chromatography. Experimental details can be found in the Supporting Information.
