Substrate scope of alkyl bromides.

Alkyl bromide (0.1 mmol, 0.033 M), Pd(PPh₃)₄ (5 mol%), KHCO₂ (2 equiv), and benzene (3 mL) under 40 W blue LED irradiation without fan cooling (50 ± 5 °C). All yields are isolated yields.

^aPd(PPh₃)₄ (2.5 mol%).

^bGC yields using dodecane as an internal standard.

^cPd(PPh₃)₄ (10 mol%).

^dIsolation after methylation with TMSCH₂N₂.

^e48 h.

^fKOAc instead of KHCO₂.

^g4 mmol scale.
