Fast, greener and scalable direct coupling of organolithium compounds with no additional solvents

Cross-coupling reactions typically are carried out under dilute conditions of ethereal solvents. Here, the authors report a method for palladium catalysed cross-coupling of organolithium reagents that avoids the use of any added solvent with reaction times of only minutes.
