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

Catalytic C–H bond activation, which was an elusive subject of chemical research until the
1990s, has now become a standard synthetic method for the formation of new C–C and C …

The last two decades have seen an impressive improvement of the use of iron as a
fascinating and valuable alternative transition metal in homogeneous catalysis in terms of …

Among the large family of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), Zr-based MOFs, which exhibit
rich structure types, outstanding stability, intriguing properties and functions, are foreseen as …

Molecular syntheses largely rely on time‐and labour‐intensive prefunctionalization
strategies. In contrast, C− H activation represents an increasingly powerful approach that …

The main contributions in the field of first-row transition-metal-catalyzed (base-metal-
catalyzed) carbonylative transformations have been summarized and discussed. The …

Hydrometallation of alkenes and alkynes provides a straightforward route to access alkyl‐or
alkenyl‐metal reagents, which have a wide range of applications in organic transformations …

The current status of homogeneous iron catalysis in organic chemistry is contemplated, as
are the reasons why this particular research area only recently starts challenging the …

The area of catalysis of radical reactions has recently flourished. Various reaction conditions
have been discovered and explained in terms of catalytic cycles. These cycles rarely stand …

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 …
