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 …

Transition metal catalysts, particularly those derived from the group VIII− X metals, display
remarkable efficiency for the formation of carbon− carbon and carbon− heteroatom bonds …

Secondary, but second to none: The use of secondary alkyl halides in transition‐metal‐
catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions (see scheme) has advanced significantly over the last …

The chemistry of organoelement compounds is now one of the most rapidly develo**
fields of research, regarding both fundamental science and solution of applied problems …

Iron‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions have, over the past years, developed to maturity
and today are an integral part of the organic chemist's toolkit. They benefit from low costs …

The combination of FeCl 3 and DMEDA represents an inexpensive system for the S-
arylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic thiols; however, aliphatic thiols fail to react. Only …

During the past 100 years the Grignard reagents probably have been the most widely used
organometallic reagents. Most of them are easily prepared in ethereal solution (usually …

A series of unprecedented organoiron complexes of the formal oxidation states− 2, 0,+ 1,+ 2,
and+ 3 is presented, which are largely devoid of stabilizing ligands and, in part, also …

Combinations of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and fluoride salts of the iron-group metals
(Fe, Co, and Ni) have been shown to be excellent catalysts for the cross-coupling reactions …
