Abstract
An efficient Fe(III)-catalyzed direct coupling of alkenes with alcohols and cross-coupling of alcohols with alcohols gives the corresponding substituted (E)-alkenes stereospecifically. Mild conditions, atom efficiency, environmental soundness, and stereospecificity are features that make this procedure very attractive. Additionally, this reaction could be scaled up.
