title: Iron-catalyzed alkylation of alkenyl Grignard reagents.
abstract: The first iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between alkenyl Grignard reagents and n- or s-alkyl bromides is described. The reaction is stereoselective and takes place in the presence of 5 mol % of [Fe(acac)3/TMEDA/HMTA] (1:2:1) under very mild conditions (THF, 0 degrees C, 45 min).
