The iron-catalyzed C(sp 2 )–C(sp 3 ) cross-coupling provides a highly economical route to exceedingly valuable alkylated arenes that are widespread in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Herein, we report an operationally-simple protocol for the selective C(sp 2 )–C(sp 3 ) iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with Grignard reagents at low catalyst loading. A broad range of electronically-varied aryl and heteroaryl chlorides underwent the cross-coupling using challenging alkyl organometallics possessing β-hydrogens with high efficiency up to 2000 TON. A notable feature of the protocol is the use of environmentally-friendly cyclic urea ligands. A series of guidelines to predict cross-coupling reactivity of aryl electrophiles is provided.more » « less
