Abstract
AbstractThe role of halide salt additives has been investigated in the Negishi reaction involving aryl zinc reagents. Diarylzincs readily transmetallate to Pd in relatively non‐polar media (e.g., THF) with zero salt present and coupling proceeds. Arylzinc halides (ArZnX) fail to couple in THF without salt, but do couple with it. However, unlike alkylzincs that form higher‐order zincates in order to facilitate transmetallation, all that is required with arylzincs in an increase in solvent dielectric as even ZnX2 works as an additive, which completely terminates alkylzinc coupling.
