Ironing out the kinks: Efficientnew catalytic systems based on iron thiolates are described for the iron‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of alkyl Grignard reagents with alkenylhalides (see scheme). The reaction is highly chemo‐ and stereoselective. With this new procedure, the use of N‐methylpyrrolidone as a co‐solvent is no longer required.

Alkenyl iodides, bromides and chlorides react with organomagnesium reagents in THF, in the presence of Co(acac)2 and NMP (9 to 4 equiv.), to give the cross-coupling products in good yields. The reaction is chemoselective (aryl or alkyl bromides, esters and ketones) and stereoselective (≥99.5%).
