Abstract

Free radicals generated from organic halides and (ethylenediamine)chromium(II) complexes in DMF are trapped by electron-deficient olefins. The coupling reactions of alkyl halides, described in Part I[1], are extended and, in addition, aryl halides are shown to be efficient radical precursors to yield coupling products in good yield.
