✦ Synopsis

Bond formation, C-C / Chromium(I1) complexes / Radicals Free radicals generated from organic halides and (ethylenediamine)chromium(II) complexes in DMF are trapped by electron-deficient olefins. The coupling reactions of alkyl halides, described in Part Ill], are extended and, in addition, aryl halides are shown to be efficient radical precursors to yield coupling products in good yield.
