Bijay Shrestha Ramesh Giri Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA 10.3762/bjoc.11.261 Abstract We report a Cu-catalyzed coupling between triarylaluminum reagents and alkyl halides to form arylalkanes. The reaction proceeds in the
excellent yields.

Cross-coupling reactions represent one of the most important transformation for carbon–carbon (C–C) bond formation in organic synthesis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. These reactions, typically
