    Abstract

    Non-protected halohydrins are cross-coupled with aryl aluminium reagents to produce aryl alkanols in the presence of the iron–bisphosphine catalysts. Remarkable reaction rate enhancement and diastereoinduction are realized by the in situ generated aluminium alkoxides, offering a new method for the reactivity and selectivity control of the iron-catalysed cross-coupling reaction. 2012
