Zusammenfassung:
Aryl chlorides are better substrates than the corresponding bromides or iodides in the presented cross-coupling with alkyl Grignard reagents that is catalyzed by iron salts (see scheme); even aryl tosylates are converted efficiently. This situation is attributed to a novel catalytic cycle, which probably involves iron complexes with formally negative oxidation states (probably Fe−II).
