Several intermediates of the oxidative coupling of areneboronic acids to afford biaryls have been identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Knowledge has been gained about the steps occurring after the biaryl formation and leading to the recovery of the catalytic species.

A nickel-catalyzed oxidative coupling of zinc amides with organomagnesium compounds selectively produces diarylamines under mild reaction conditions, with tolerance for chloride, bromide, hydroxyl, ester, and ketone groups. A diamine is bis-monoarylated. A bromoaniline undergoes N-arylation followed by Kumada-Tamao-Corriu coupling in one pot. The reaction may proceed via oxidatively induced reductive elimination of a nickel species.

A series of unprecedented organoiron complexes of the formal oxidation states -2, 0, +1, +2, and +3 is presented, which are largely devoid of stabilizing ligands and, in part, also electronically unsaturated (14-, 16-, 17- and 18-electron counts). Specifically, it is shown that nucleophiles unable to undergo β-hydride elimination, such as MeLi, PhLi, or PhMgBr, rapidly reduce Fe(3+) to Fe(2+) and then exhaustively alkylate the metal center. The resulting homoleptic organoferrate complexes [(Me4Fe)(MeLi)] [Li(OEt2)]2 (3) and [Ph4Fe][Li(Et 2O)2][Li(1,4-dioxane)] (5) could be characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis. However, these exceptionally sensitive compounds turned out to be only moderately nucleophilic, transferring their organic ligands to activated electrophiles only, while being unable to alkylate (hetero)aryl halides unless they are very electron deficient. In striking contrast, Grignard reagents bearing alkyl residues amenable to β-hydride elimination reduce FeXn (n = 2, 3) to clusters of the formal composition [Fe(MgX)2]n. The behavior of these intermetallic species can be emulated by structurally well-defined lithium ferrate complexes of the type [Fe(C2H4) 4][Li(tmeda)]2 (8), [Fe(cod)2][Li(dme)] 2 (9), [CpFe(C2H4)2][Li(tmeda)] (7), [CpFe(cod)][Li(dme)] (11), or [Cp*Fe(C2H4) 2][Li(tmeda)] (14). Such electron-rich complexes, which are distinguished by short intermetallic Fe-Li bonds, were shown to react with aryl chlorides and allyl halides; the structures and reactivity patterns of the resulting organoiron compounds provide first insights into the elementary steps of low valent iron-catalyzed cross coupling reactions of aryl, alkyl, allyl, benzyl, and propargyl halides with organomagnesium reagents. However, the acquired data suggest that such C-C bond formations can occur, a priori, along different catalytic cycles shuttling between metal centers of the formal oxidation states Fe(+1)/Fe(+3), Fe(0)/Fe(+2), and Fe(-2)/Fe(0). Since these different manifolds are likely interconnected, an unambiguous decision as to which redox cycle dominates in solution remains difficult, even though iron complexes of the lowest accessible formal oxidation states promote the reactions most effectively.
