No such thing as a problem substrate! In a reaction designed specifically for the title substrates CC coupling with alkyl boranes occurred in good yield at room temperature with commercially available catalyst components (see scheme). This versatile method is also suitable for Suzuki reactions of secondary and primary alkyl bromides and iodides, as well as primary alkyl chlorides.
