Synonyms: Baran Olefin Cross-Coupling Catalyst; Iron tris(diisobutyrylmethane)
Molecular Formula: C27H45FeO6
Molecular Weight: 521.49
Linear Structural Formula: C27H45FeO6
Melting Point: 96-102 C
Application: Iron tris(diisobutyrylmethane) was reported by Baran and coworkers to be an effective catalyst in the cross-coupling of olefins. In the presence of phenylsilane (Aldrich 335150), several highly substituted and novel functionalized C-C bonds can be formed using simple and mild reaction conditions.
