title: Iron thiolate complexes: efficient catalysts for coupling alkenyl halides with alkyl Grignard reagents.
abstract: Ironing out the kinks: Efficient new catalytic systems based on iron thiolates are described for the iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkyl Grignard reagents with alkenyl halides. The reaction is highly chemo- and stereoselective. With this new procedure, the use of N-methylpyrrolidone as a co-solvent is no longer required.
