Transition-metal-catalyzed CÀC bond coupling between vinyl metal reagents and unactivated alkyl halides is a useful reaction [1–3] that can be realized using copper,[4] palladium, nickel, or cobalt complexes as catalysts.[1–3, 5] For example, primary alkyl bromides can be coupled with alkenyl tin reagents using a palladium-catalyzed Stille coupling.[6] Negishi cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides with alkenyl zinc reagents [7] or with alkenyl zirconium species [8] also proceeded in the presence of palladium complexes. Recently,[Co (acac) 3](acac= acetylacetonate) was used as a catalyst for the cross-coupling reaction of primary and secondary alkyl halides with 1-(trimethylsilyl) ethenylmagnesium.[9] This reaction was shown to proceed through a radical pathway, and the cross-coupling products were obtained in good to excellent yields. Nevertheless, 20 to 40 mol% of the cobalt complex were required, and no reaction occurred with other alkenyl Grignard reagents.[9]As synthetic organic methods are increasingly concerned with the growing importance of sustainable chemistry, ironcatalyzed cross-coupling reactions are one of the promising research areas for the construction of CÀC bonds, since iron is inexpensive and more environmentally friendly than palladium, cobalt, or nickel.[10, 11] After the pioneering works of Kochi and co-workers in the 1970s,[12, 13] only recently have the groups of Cahiez,[14] Fürstner,[15] and Nakamura,[16] extended the scope of iron-catalyzed processes, notably by developing efficient cross-coupling reactions between aromatic Grignard reagents and alkyl halides.[17] Although coupling reactions between vinyl bromide derivatives and alkyl Grignard reagents have been reported using the iron catalyst [Fe-(acac) 3],[14c] to our knowledge, the iron-catalyzed crosscoupling reaction between alkyl halides and alkenyl Grignard reagents has never been reported. Herein, we report that FeCl3 efficiently catalyzes cross-coupling reactions between various alkyl halides and alkenyl Grignard reagents in good to excellent yields (Scheme 1).
