title: Simple iron-amine catalysts for the cross-coupling of aryl Grignards with alkyl halides bearing beta-hydrogens.
abstract: Mixtures of iron(III) chloride and appropriate amine ligands are active catalysts for the coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halide substrates bearing beta-hydrogens, under mild and simple reaction conditions.
