Stereoretentive Pd-catalyzed Kumada-Corriu couplings of alkenyl halides at room temperature.

Stereoselective palladium-catalyzed Kumada-Corriu reactions of functionalized alkenyl halides and a variety of Grignard reagents, including those bearing ß-hydrogen atoms and sensitive functional groups, can be carried out at room temperature using a new combination of reagents.
