Significance

In this article a highly stereoselective Mn(II)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between (hetero)aryl Grignard reagents and non-­activated alkenyl halides is reported. The stereo­information of the alkenyl halide is usually preserved. An exception to that rule represents the case of (Z)-3-(2-bromoethenyl)pyridine, where the configuration of the double bond is completely ­reversed.
