Significance

Gessner and co-workers report the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with alkyllithium reagents under mild conditions in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, gram-scale reactions were performed, demonstrating the scalability of this protocol.

Comment

The authors performed extensive screening and discovered a suitable catalyst based on ylide-substituted phosphines which gave good selectivities combined with high yields, preventing several undesired side-reactions such as homo­coupling, isomerization or protodehalogenation. In addition, the catalyst proved to be successful for Kumada type cross-couplings.
