ChemInform Abstract: Efficient Cross-Coupling of Aryl Grignard Reagents with Alkyl Halides by Recyclable Ionic Iron(III) Complexes Bearing a Bis(phenol)-functionalized Benzimidazolium Cation.

Ionic Fe(III)-complexes based on novel bis(phenol)-functionalized benzimidazolium cation are synthesized and applied to the cross-coupling of Grignard reagents (I) with primary and secondary alkyl halides (II) bearing β-hydrogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
