The present review “Iron Catalysis in Organic Synthesis” covers the literature until the end of
June 2014 and represents a comprehensive update of a previous article published by Bolm …

Duality of iron as an essential cofactor of many enzymatic metabolic processes and as a
catalyst of poorly controlled redox-cycling reactions defines its possible biological beneficial …

Conspectus Recent efforts to design synthetic iron catalysts for the selective and efficient
oxidation of C–H and C C bonds have been inspired by a versatile family of nonheme iron …

The selective transformation of C− H bonds is one of the most desirable approaches to
creating complexity from simple building blocks. Several directing groups are efficient in …

High-valent iron-oxo intermediates have often been implicated, and in some cases
identified, as the active oxidant in oxygen activating nonheme iron enzymes. Recent …

The selective functionalization of C–H bonds is an extremely important topic in present-day
organic synthesis, as it utilizes the most abundant portion of a molecule as a tool for …

Nonheme iron enzymes generate powerful and versatile oxidants that perform a wide range
of oxidation reactions, including the functionalization of inert C− H bonds, which is a major …

Herein, we report the first decarboxylative hydroxylation to synthesize phenols from benzoic
acids at 35° C via photoinduced ligand‐to‐metal charge transfer (LMCT)‐enabled radical …

Benzoic acid dissolved in water is electrosprayed (− 4 kV) by using nitrogen gas at a
pressure of 120 psi to form∼ 10 μm diameter microdroplets. Analysis with mass …

Carboxylic acids are among the most used feedstock chemicals due to their great structural
diversity and easy handling. The use of carboxylic acids and their derivatives in …
