Abstract
Addition of a phenolate to FeCl3/Ti(OEt)4/TMEDA enables a strong Fe/Ti cooperativity that can efficiently catalyze a general and selective biaryl coupling reaction in the absence of ligands. Various aryl iodides, bromides, and chlorides can be coupled with a variety of common and Knochel-type aryl Grignard reagents. A wide range of sensitive functional groups in either coupling partner are tolerated.
