We describe the mechanism, substituent effects, and origins of the selectivity of the nickel-catalyzed four-component coupling reactions of alkyl fluorides, aryl Grignard reagents, and two molecules of 1,3-butadiene that affords a 1,6-octadiene carbon framework bearing alkyl and aryl groups at the 3- and 8-positions, respectively, and the competing cross-coupling reaction. Both the four-component coupling reaction and the cross-coupling reaction are triggered by the formation of anionic nickel complexes, which are generated by the oxidative dimerization of two molecules of 1,3-butadiene on Ni(0) and the subsequent complexation with the aryl Grignard reagents. The C-C bond formation of the alkyl fluorides with the γ-carbon of the anionic nickel complexes leads to the four-component coupling product, whereas the cross-coupling product is yielded via nucleophilic attack of the Ni center toward the alkyl fluorides. These steps are found to be the rate-determining and selectivity-determining steps of the whole catalytic cycle, in which the C-F bond of the alkyl fluorides is activated by the Mg cation rather than a Li or Zn cation. ortho-Substituents of the aryl Grignard reagents suppressed the cross-coupling reaction leading to the selective formation of the four-component products. Such steric effects of the ortho-substituents were clearly demonstrated by crystal structure characterizations of ate complexes and DFT calculations. The electronic effects of the para-substituent of the aryl Grignard reagents on both the selectivity and reaction rates are thoroughly discussed. The present mechanistic study offers new insight into anionic complexes, which are proposed as the key intermediates in catalytic transformations even though detailed mechanisms are not established in many cases, and demonstrates their synthetic utility as promising intermediates for C-C bond forming reactions, providing useful information for developing efficient and straightforward multicomponent reactions.

Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of nonactivated primary alkyl fluorides with aryl Grignard reagents has been achieved by using the low-coordinate dinuclear iron complex [(IPr2Me2)Fe(μ2-NDipp) 2Fe(IPr2Me2)] as the catalyst. This iron-catalyzed C(sp3)-F bond arylation reaction is applicable to a variety of aryl Grignard reagents and primary alkyl fluorides. The product pattern suggests the involvement of a radical-type mechanism for its C-F bond scission step.

Structurally distinctive Fe(ii) complexes with furan, thiophene and pyridine functionalized amine-pyrazolyl tripodal hybrid ligands have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized. The tether substituent at the central amine plays an active role in determining the coordination mode of the ligand and the metal geometry. All complexes are catalytically active towards cross-coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides with β-hydrogen under ambient conditions. ESI-MS spectra analysis revealed the ligand-stabilised Fe(ii) and Mg(ii) species. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
