Mechanisms for the [Fe(MgBr)₂] catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between ortho-chlorostyrene and phenylmagnesium bromide to form biaryl were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We investigated two mechanisms. Cycle A included three basic steps: (I) oxidation of [Fe(MgBr)₂] to obtain [Ar- Fe(MgBr)], (II) addition to yield [Ar-(phenyl)-Fe(MgBr)₂], and (III) reductive elimination to return to [Fe(MgBr)₂]. Cycle B did not form [Ar-Fe(MgBr)]. In the first step, phenylmagnesium bromide attacks the intermediate of the oxidative addition directly before [Cl-Mg-Br] dissociates to form [Ar-Fe(MgBr)]. The catalytic Cycle B is favored over the catalytic Cycle Awhen considering the solvent effect. The rate-limiting step in the overall catalytic cycle for both Cycle A and Cycle B is the reductive elimination of [Ar-(phenyl)-Fe(MgBr)₂] to regenerate the catalyst [Fe(MgBr)₂], where the Gibbs free energy in solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF), ΔG_sol, is 82.98 kJ ·mol^-1, as determined using the conductor polarized continuum model (CPCM) method.
