Tris(2,6-dimethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)iron(III)

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.

This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency.
