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 …

Remarkable recent progress has been accomplished in direct C–H functionalizations for the
formation of C–N and C–O bonds through the use of readily accessible ruthenium catalysts …

Conspectus Because of the importance of nitrogen-containing compounds in chemistry and
biology, organic chemists have long focused on the development of novel methodologies for …

Herein, we report a rhodium catalyzed directing‐group free regioselective C− H allylation of
simple arenes. Readily available gem‐difluorinated cyclopropanes can be employed as …

The unique regioselectivity and reactivity of cobalt (III) in the direct cyclization of N‐
nitrosoanilines with alkynes for the expedient synthesis of N‐substituted indoles is …

The amide functionality is an important and pervasive structural motif in pharmacologically
active molecules, agrochemicals, peptides, and polymers. 1 Representative …

A cationic cobalt (III)‐catalyzed direct C H amidation of unactivated (hetero) arenes and
alkenes by using 1, 4, 2‐dioxazol‐5‐ones as the amidating reagent has been developed …

The low-valent iron complex Bu4N [Fe (CO) 3 (NO)](TBAFe) catalyzes the allylic C–C-bond
activation of electron-poor vinyl cyclopropanes to generate synthetically useful a1, a3, d5 …

Molecular structure-editing through nitrogen insertion offers more efficient and ingenious
pathways for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds, which could benefit the …
