Cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagents and their application to sequential radical cyclization/cross-coupling reactions
Reactions of alkyl halides with arylmagnesium bromides in the presence of cobalt(II)(diphosphine) complexes are discussed. Treatment of 1-bromooctane with phenylmagnesium bromide with the aid of a catalytic amount of CoCl2(dppp) [DPPP=1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane] yielded octylbenzene in good yield. The reaction mechanism would include single electron transfer from an electron-rich cobalt complex

A zirconocene-olefin complex induced reductive radical cyclization of β-haloalkyl allyl acetals in THF. This complex served as a single electrontransferreagent to promote the cyclization. Furthermore, the reaction in DME afforded tetrahydrofuranylmethylzirconium species effectively.
