From the same starting 2-bomobenzyl bromide, 20 was also obtained by the magnesium way in three steps via the following: (i) homocoupling of an in situ formed benzyl Grignard; (ii) iodination of two aromatic bromide positions and iron catalyzed homocoupling of an in situ formed aryl magnesium (global yield: 19%): Cahiez, G.; Chaboche, C.; Mahuteau-Betzer, F.; Ahr, M.

33. During the preparation of this manuscript the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides with organolithium derivatives was published. This Palladium variant of the nickel system we described in ref 12 involves a strategy based on preformed aryllithiums, on halogen-lithium exchanges, and on direct metalations (as in the Fe-catalytic system descibed in this paper for the homocoupling): Giannerini, M.; Fananas-Mastal, M.; Feringa Ben, L.
