Any old iron : Two efficient iron‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions between aryl Grignard reagents and alkyl bromides were developed that are suitable for large‐scale applications. The first procedure uses iron acetylacetonate and involves a cooperative effect between the two ligands N , N , N ′, N ′‐tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and hexamethylenetetraamine (HMTA), while the second procedure uses [(FeCl 3 ) 2 (tmeda) 3 ] as catalyst.
