Stable C-O linkages are generally unreactive in cross-coupling reactions which mostly employ more electrophilic halides or activated esters (triflates, tosylates). Acetates are cheap and easily accessible electrophiles but have not been used in cross-couplings because the strong C-O bond and high propensity to engage in unwanted acetylation and deprotonation. Reported herein is a selective iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of diverse alkenyl acetates, and it operates under mild reaction conditions (0 C, 2 h) with a ligand-free catalyst (1-2 mol%). Iron clad: Acetates are underutilized electrophiles in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions because of the strong alkenyl C-O bond and their propensity to engage in unwanted reactions. Combination of a ligand-free low-valent Fe catalyst with nucleophilic organomagnesium reagents, low temperature, and short reaction times results in highly selective cross-couplings with alkenyl acetates.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkenyl/aryl carboxylates with primary alkyl Grignard reagent was described. This reaction brought a new family of electrophiles to iron catalysis. The combination of an inexpensive carboxylat
