Abstract

Chemoselective Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of primary and secondary alkyl halides is realized by using an iron/Xantphos catalyst. Primary and secondary alkyl bromides undergo the reaction to give the coupling products in good yields. Application to the synthesis of long-chain fatty acid derivatives is also described (see scheme).
