Abstract
Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with (E)- and (Z)-enol tosylates proceeded smoothly to give a variety of the corresponding (E)- and (Z)-trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated methyl esters in good yield. The simple, mild, stereoretentive method utilized iron(III) chloride and other iron salts as catalyst.
