Dilithium amides have been developed as a bespoke and general ligand for iron-catalyzed Kumada-Tamao-Corriu cross-coupling reactions, their design taking inspiration from previous mechanistic and structural studies. They allow for the cross-coupling of alkyl Grignard reagents with sp2-hybridized electrophiles as well as aryl Grignard reagents with sp3-hybridized electrophiles. This represents a rare example of a single iron-catalyzed system effective across diverse coupling reactions without significant modification of the catalytic protocol, as well as remaining operationally simple.

New aryl- and heteroarylboronate esters chelated by dipropanolamine are synthesised directly from boronic acids. The corresponding anionic borates are readily accessible by deprotonation and demonstrate an increase in hydrocarbyl nucleophilicity in comparison to other common borates. The new borates proved competent for magnesium or zinc additive-free, direct boron-to-iron hydrocarbyl transmetallations with well-defined iron(ii) (pre)catalysts. The application of the new borate reagents in representative Csp2-Csp3 cross-coupling led to almost exclusive homocoupling unless coupling is performed in the presence of a zinc additive.

A novel bis(phenol)-functionalized benzimidazolium salt, 1,3-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)benzimidazolium chloride (H 3LCl, 1), was designed and used to prepare ionic iron(iii) complexes of the type [H3L][FeX4] (X = Cl, 2; X = Br, 3). Both 2 and 3 were characterized by elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The catalytic performances of 2 and 3 in cross-coupling reactions using aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides bearing β-hydrogens were studied. This analysis shows that complex 2 has good potential for alkyl chloride-mediated coupling. In comparison, complex 3 showed slightly lower catalytic activity. After decanting the product contained in the ethereal layer, complex 2 could be recycled at least eight times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
