This thesis allowed realizing new cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The first chapter describes a new route for the direct allylation of various alkyl halides catalyzed by cobalt(II) bromide. This method is very straightforward and environmentally friendly. It is efficient for the coupling of a large variety of alkyl halides (primary, secondary, and tertiary) with substituted (primary and secondary) allylic acetates and carbonates and provides good to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. Moreover, in the case of substituted allyl acetates, the reaction affords the linear product as the major or the sole product. A few experiments were also conducted to provide some insight into the mechanism of this allyl-alkyl cr...
