Fe-Cu cooperative catalysis in the isomerization of alkyl Grignard reagents.
Alkyl Grignard reagents were found to be isomerized to more stable ones in high isomerization ratios (>99%) under cooperative catalysis by iron and copper, which promote isomerization of alkyl groups and transmetalation between Fe-Mg, respectively.
