Although this original work was limited to the use of primary alkyl azastannatranes 42 ... Rudolph, A. & Lautens, M. Secondary alkyl halides in transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions ...

Cross-coupling between a racemic secondary alkyl halide and an alkyl borane to produce an enantioenriched alkyl–alkyl product is one of the final substrate combinations to succumb to the ...

A primary alkyl halide would prefer to undergo S N 2 reaction. (a) S N 2reactions occur only if the intermediate carbonation is stable i.e., 3° carbocation. (b) ...

The reaction involves the S N 2 attack of an alkoxide ion on primary alkyl halide. Better results are obtained if the alkyl halide is primary. In case of secondary and tertiary alkyl halides ...
