"On water" sp3-sp2 cross-couplings between benzylic and alkenyl halides.

ABSTRACT: Organic-solvent-free cross-couplings between benzylic and alkenyl halides have been developed. Various alkenyl halides can be efficiently benzylated by combining the precursor halides in the presence of Zn dust and a Pd catalyst at room temperature, in water as the only medium.
