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 …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are cyclic carbenes bearing at least one R-amino
substituent. 1 The most common subclasses of NHCs are represented in Chart 1. Early work …

Iron is the most abundant transition metal in Earth, s crust; it is relatively inexpensive, not
very toxic, and environmentally benign. 1 Undoubtedly, due to the involvement in a multitude …

Cobalt–N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have emerged as an attractive class of 3d
transition metal catalysts for a broad range of chemical processes, including cross-coupling …

Recent progress in the synthesis of benzene and 1, 3‐cyclohexadiene derivatives, and
heterocyclic compounds such as pyridines, pyridones, pyrans, pyrimidine diones, etc, has …

Tying up loose ends: Recent advances towards a development of novel transition‐metal‐
catalyzed enantioselective [2+ 2+ 2] cycloadditions for the synthesis of biaryls are …

Synthetic sequel: The transition‐metal‐catalyzed [2+ 2+ 2] cycloaddition is an established
method for the construction of carbocyclic frameworks but is often plagued by poor …

Reaction of ferrocene with lithium in the presence of either ethylene or COD allows the Fe
(0)-ate complexes 1 and 4 to be prepared on a large scale, which turned out to be excellent …

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 …
