“…Despite this, a range of other electron-rich arylzinc nucleophiles (Scheme , 53l – 53n ), and heteroaryl species ( 53o, 53p ) were compatible. The success of electron-rich aryl coupling partners is significant given that these fragments are often unsuccessful using alternative reductive cross-coupling strategies involving aryl halides and tertiary aliphatic radical precursors . In cases were electron-neutral (hetero)arylzinc reagents gave lower yields, we found that the desired product could be obtained in higher quantities if p -methoxyphenyl thionoester 54a was used as the redox-active starting material instead of 51b …”
