Significance

The authors report the first iron-catalyzed direct coupling of aryl sulfamates and tosylates with aryl Grignard reagents. Interestingly, fluoride counterions were found to increase the yields of the desired products. FeF3 does not need to be reduced before the reaction, and in fact, reactions performed without the pre-reduction proceed better in almost all cases.

Comment

The reaction was shown to tolerate a number of iron pre-catalysts with no significant homocoupling of the aryl Grignard. Studies to understand the reaction mechanism better are underway.
