A new efficient homocoupling reaction was reported in one pot by a combination of metallic magnesium and a catalytic amount of manganese (II) chloride. Various aromatic and alkyl halides underwent homocoupling smoothly, affording the corresponding symmetrical homocoupling compounds in moderate to good yields. The readily available MnCl 2 , the mild reaction conditions and the operational simplicity and practicability allow for an easy and practical procedure for the purpose of carboncarbon bond formation.
