title: Copper nanoparticle-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkyl halides with Grignard reagents.
abstract: A cross-coupling reaction between alkyl bromides and chlorides and various Grignard reagents was carried out in the presence of commercially available copper or copper oxide nanoparticles as a catalyst and an alkyne additive. The catalytic system shows high activity, a broad scope, and good functional group tolerance.
