Iron-Catalyzed Cross Coupling – The Work of Alois
Fürstner
Literature meetingJanuary 27th, 2009
Brice Stenne
A Short Portrait of the Man
Biography:
Alois Fürstner (1962) studied chemistry at the Technical University of Graz, Austria, where he got his Ph.D. in 1987 (Prof. H. Weidmann). After postdoctoral studies with the late Prof. W. Oppolzer in Geneva, he finished his Habilitation in Graz (1992) before joining the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Mülheim, Germany, in 1993 as a group leader. Since 1998, he is Director at that Institute and is also affiliated with the University of Dortmund. His research interests focus on organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, with particular emphasis on the application of catalytic tools to the synthesis of bioactive target molecules.
Awards:
In recognition of his accomplishments, he has received several awards, including the Leibniz award of the German Science Foundation (1999), the Thieme-IUPAC prize (2000), an Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award of the ACS (2002), the Otto-Bayer-Prize (2006), and the Janssen Pharmaceutica Prize for Creativity in Organic Synthesis (2008).

Advantages of Using Fe in Cross- Coupling
- toxicologically benign- commercially available- cheap- “ligand free”, they don’t need the use of special designed ligands (which can be sensitive to oxygen and moisture) as Pd and Ni.- Need mild reaction condition (r.t or bellow 0 oC)- Really effective !
Iron salts are:

An Overview of Some Pioneering Work

Require 3 to 5 eq. of alkyl/alkenyl halide
Yield vary with the source of iron

Mechanism proposed:
Propagating iron species still elusive! Is it a Fe0, FeI species or a “super-ate” complexes of FeII.

Cahiez :
Nature of the iron salt is no longer essential
Still stereospecific
Tolerate FGs (alkyl/aryl bromide, amides, esters and ketones)
Need 1 eq. of alkenyl halide.

This implies that radical processes (as manifested in the exo cyclizations) can intervene during the initial reaction of an
organic halide with lithium ferrate complex or can be triggered after the formation of an organoiron complex.

Conclusion
-Iron catalyzed cross coupling can efficiently couple Csp2–Csp3 centers using catalysts that are non-toxic and of low cost.
-Grignard reagents that are prone to β-H elimination are believed to pass through a Fe-II/Fe0 catalytic cycle.
-Grignard reagents that cannot undergo β-H elimination are believed to occur via organoferrate species.
