title: The transition-metal-catalyst-free oxidative homocoupling of organomanganese reagents prepared by the insertion of magnesium into organic halides in the presence of MnCl2·2LiCl.
abstract: Organomanganese reagents were prepared by the insertion of magnesium into aryl halides in the presence of MnCl2·2LiCl. These organomanganese reagents smoothly undergo 1,2-addition, acylation, and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling with various electrophiles. Especially, the oxidative homocoupling of organomanganese reagents was completed in one pot without an additional transition-metal catalyst.
