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 …

Nature has established a broad spectrum of methods to introduce halogen atoms in organic
compounds. Recent developments have revealed that haloperoxidases are one of the major …

(di-) Thioacetals and (di-) thioketals serve commonly as protecting groups of carbonyls and
alcohols in organic synthesis, and therefore require highly efficient and chemoselective …

A highly convergent, stereocontrolled total synthesis of the architecturally complex marine
sponge metabolite (−)-enigmazole A has been achieved. Highlights include an …

Visible light mediated facile and selective dithiane deprotection under metal free conditions
is developed. Eosin Y (1 mol%) proved to be an effective catalyst for the dithiane …

An effective late-stage large-fragment union/rearrangement exploiting the Petasis–Ferrier
protocol, in conjunction with multicomponent Type I Anion Relay Chemistry (ARC) to access …

Tris (acetylacetonato) iron (III)[Fe (acac) 3] is an indispensable reagent in synthetic
chemistry. Its applications range from hydrogen atom transfer to cross-coupling reactions …

In this study an InI3-TMDS (1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethyldisiloxane) reducing system effectively
catalyzed the reductive dithioacetalization of a variety of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic …

Reactions for the deprotection of carbonyl derivatives have been of considerable interest to
the scientific community. In recent years efforts have been made to develop mild …

The efficient deprotection of several acetals, dithioacetals, and tetrahydropyranyl (THP)
ethers under ambient conditions, using chloral hydrate in hexane, is described. Excellent …
