In industries and academic laboratories, several late transition metal-catalyzed prerequisite
reactions are widely performed during single and multistep synthesis. However, besides the …

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 …

Iron‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions have, over the past years, developed to maturity
and today are an integral part of the organic chemist's toolkit. They benefit from low costs …

Conversion of a C (sp2)–H or C (sp3)–H bond to the corresponding C–Me bond can be
achieved by using AlMe3 or its air-stable diamine complex in the presence of catalytic …

The combination of FeCl3· 6H2O and di-tert-butyl peroxide offers a novel and efficient
method for the construction of polysubstituted benzofurans 3 from the reaction of simple …

Transition metal complexes play a vital role as catalysts in organic syntheses, enhancing
selectivity and rates of many transformations. Typically iron is not the first choice when it …

A novel method for direct transformation of allyl groups in allylbenzene derivatives to alkenyl
groups via rhodium-catalyzed C–C bond cleavage is reported. The alkenylation with …

A revisit of organoaluminum reagents for cross-coupling reactions has opened up several
types of C–C bond formation protocols through cleavage of phenolic/alcoholic C–O and C–F …

The efficient iron‐catalyzed direct β‐alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols
is described. In the presence of the commercially available iron catalyst …

Iron catalysts are extensively used in organic reactions in recent years since iron is one of
the most abundant metals on earth, consequently one of the most inexpensive, and …
