In the copper-catalysed reactions of arenediazonium chlorides with unsaturated compounds arenediazonium tetrachlorocuprates(II) are formed as intermediates. A general method of preparation of these complexed diazonium salts is described. In polar solvents these salts undergo chlorinative dediazoniation to give chloroarenes in high yield. The reaction of an arenediazonium tetrachlorocuprate(II) with
Chloroarylation of unsaturated compounds with arenediazonium chlorides in the presence of CuCl2 as catalyst involves intermediate formation of arenediazonium tetrachlorocuprates(II) [ArN2+](2) CuCl42-. A procedure for preparative isolation of these intermediates was developed, and they were shown to be efficient arylating agents. Reactions of [ArN2+](2) CuCl42- with unsaturated compounds gave the corresponding Meerwein products; a mechanism was proposed for these reactions. In polar solvents arenediazonium tetrachlorocuprates(II) are converted into chloroarenes, presumably through a cyclic transition state.

Alkyl chlorides are a class of versatile building blocks widely used to generate C(sp3)‐rich scaffolds through transformation such as nucleophilic substitution, radical addition reactions and metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling processes. Despite their utility in the synthesis of high‐value functional molecules, distinct methods for the preparation of alkyl chlorides are underrepresented. Here, we report a visible‐light‐mediated dual catalysis strategy for the modular synthesis of highly functionalized and structurally diverse arylated chloroalkanes via the coupling of diaryliodonium salts, alkenes and potassium chloride. A distinctive aspect of this transformation is a ligand‐design‐driven approach for the development of a copper(II)‐based atom‐transfer catalyst that enables the aryl‐chlorination of electron‐poor alkenes, complementing its iron(III)‐based counterpart that accommodates non‐activated aliphatic alkenes and styrene derivatives. The complementarity of the two dual catalytic systems allows the efficient aryl‐chlorination of alkenes bearing different stereo‐electronic properties and a broad range of functional groups, maximizing the structural diversity of the 1‐aryl, 2‐chloroalkane products.
