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 …

Catalytic anti-Markovnikov oxidation of alkene feedstocks could simplify synthetic routes to
many important molecules and solve a long-standing challenge in chemistry. Here we report …

A mild and operationally simple iron-catalyzed protocol for the selective aerobic oxidation of
aromatic olefins to carbonyl compounds is described. Catalyzed by a Fe (III) species bearing …

Oxygenation of alkenes is one of the most straightforward routes for the construction of
carbonyl compounds. Wacker oxidation provides a broadly useful strategy to convert the …

This review emphasizes the recent developments in the Wacker oxidation process from its
conventional form to more efficient, economical, and greener methods established in the last …

The Wacker reaction is the oxidation of olefins to ketones and typically requires expensive
and scarce palladium catalysts in the presence of an additional copper co‐catalyst under …

A practical and general iron‐catalyzed Wacker‐type oxidation of olefins to ketones is
presented, and it uses ambient air as the sole oxidant. The mild oxidation conditions enable …

Materials and methods PdCl2 (PhCN) 2, CuCl2* 2H2O, AgNO2, anhydrous tBuOH and
MeNO2 were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich and were used as provided. All other materials …

Single-atom catalysts provide a pathway to elucidate the nature of catalytically active sites.
However, keeping them stabilized during operation proves to be challenging. Herein, we …
