摘要

A novel Fe-NHC catalytic system allows the alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reaction of alkyl halides and alkylmagnesium reagents has been developed. To our knowledge, this is the first Fe-catalysed Kumada-type coupling for the formation of C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bonds in the presence of functional groups. The process takes place under mild conditions, avoiding the formation of beta-elimination products. Mechanistic studies suggest the intermediacy of Fe(I) complexes, formed by reduction with the Grignard reagent, as the active species.
