Iron promoted conjugate addition: implication of the six-centered mechanism based on the isolation of the iron-enolate intermediate

Abstract

Treatment of (η1-mesityl)2Fe(κ2-TMEDA) (1′) with an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound results in 1,4-addition of the mesityl group to give an iron enolate 3 quantitatively. The Z-configuration of the enolate suggested the six-centered mechanism for the conjugate addition.
