Iron-catalyzed, directed oxidative arylation of olefins with organozinc and grignard reagents

摘要

(Figure presented) Chelation-controlled arylation of olefins with organozinc or Grignard reagents proceeds in the presence of an iron catalyst, under mild conditions and typically without the need of external ligands, to afford substituted olefins in high yield and with complete regio- and stereocontrol.
