A tridentate β-aminoketonato iron complex was prepared by the reaction of lithium β-aminoketonato with FeCl3. This iron complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the cross-coupling reaction between arylmagnesium bromides and alkyl halides.
Synthesis of Iron(III) Complex Bearing Tridentate β-Aminoketonato Ligand: Application to Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reaction of Arylmagnesium Bromides with Alkyl Halides. -The iron complex acts as an efficient catalyst for the title reaction by a simple procedure without an additive and within short reaction time. -(YAMAGUCHI*, Y.; ANDO, H.; NAGAYA, M.; HINAGO, H.; ITO, T.; ASAMI*, M.; Chem.
