title: Iron promoted conjugate addition: implication of the six-centered mechanism based on the isolation of the iron-enolate intermediate.
abstract: Treatment of (η(1)-mesityl)(2)Fe(κ(2)-TMEDA) (1') with an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound results in 1,4-addition of the mesityl group to give an iron enolate quantitatively. The Z-configuration of the enolate suggested the six-centered mechanism for the conjugate addition.
