Cationic iron salts and complexes catalyse the head‐to‐tail dimerisation of styrene derivatives to form the corresponding dimers with good to excellent yields and stereoselectivities. In particular, the use of a phosphine‐iron(III) complex allows the recovery and reuse of the catalyst. The counteranion plays an important role in both the activity and selectivity. These catalysts constitute an alternative

Pd(acac)2 catalyzed dimerization of vinylarenes to form dimers under mild condition with excellent yields and stereoselectivities. In particular, the use of TFA highly promoted the activity and selectivity of the dimerization. The studies on mechanism for the reaction displayed clearly that the dimerization of styrenes is 100% atom economic reaction.
An efficient Fe(III)-catalyzed direct coupling of alkenes with alcohols and cross-coupling of alcohols with alcohols to give the corresponding substituted (E)-alkenes stereospecifically is demonstrated. Additionally, this reaction could be scaled up. The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments indicated a typical secondary isotope effect in this process. Although benzylic alcohols were effective substrates, mild conditions, atom efficiency, environmental soundness, and stereospecificity are features that make this procedure very attractive.
