Abstract

The reductive coupling protocol to intramolecular cyclization of dihaloalkanes is presented. It leads to five- and six-membered rings, with the former being more efficient. The incorporation of secondary alkyl halides generally promotes coupling efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first catalytic ring-closure reaction arising from dihaloalkanes under chemical reductive conditions.
