Abstract
Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of primary and secondary alkyl sulfonates with arylzinc reagents proceed smoothly In the presence of excess TMEDA and a concomitant magnesium salt. The arylzinc reagents are prepared from the corresponding aryllithium or magnesium reagents with ZnI2. The In situ formation of alkyl Iodides and consecutive rapid cross-coupling avoids discrete preparation of the unstable secondary alkyl halides and also achieves high product selectivity.
