Mechanisms of Bisphosphine Iron-Catalyzed C(SP2)-C(SP3) Cross-Coupling Reactions: Inner-Sphere or Outer-Sphere Arylation?

, , &
 

Abstract

In this comment, we present recent insights into the mechanism of bisphosphine-iron catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-coupling reactions (CCRs) with the focus on the nature of the C-C bond formation event (inner-sphere versus outer-sphere) as revealed by quantum mechanical calculations from our group and others. Implications for reaction and catalyst design principles are discussed.
