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 …

The carbon− carbon bond is the most widespread and fundamental bond existing in organic
compounds. The reaction of this kind of bond is almost ubiquitous in live activities and …

The Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of simple ketones via C–C bond cleavage
has been developed. Varieties of common ketones, even inactive aryl long-chain alkyl …

Iron carbide nanoparticles (ICNPs) are considered to have great potential in new energy
conversion, nanomagnets and biomedical applications due to their intrinsically peculiar …

Abstract This Focus Review presents recent developments in the cleavage of C C bonds in
organic molecules. Significant progress in C C activation, including the development of a …

A growing world population and increasing energy demands are without a doubt the most
important challenges for mankind within this century. Catalysis is a key technology in various …

Nitric acid oxidation of cyclohexane accounts for~ 95% of the worldwide adipic acid
production and is also responsible for~ 5 to 8% of the annual worldwide anthropogenic …

The triflimide iron (III) salt [Fe (NTf2) 3] promotes the direct hydration of terminal and internal
alkynes with very good Markovnikov regioselectivities and high yields. The enhanced …

A new method for allylic alkylation of a variety of relatively nonstabilized carbon
nucleophiles is described herein. In this process of “deacylative allylation”, the coupling …

An asymmetric retro-Claisen reaction of α-monosubstituted β-diketones and quinones (or
quinone imine) has been developed under the catalysis of a chiral aza-bisoxazoline–Zn (II) …
