While the cyclopropane ring is a highly strained entity, it is nonetheless found in a wide
variety of naturally occurring compounds including terpenes, pheromones, fatty acid …

π-Allyltricarbonyliron lactone complexes, η4-dienetricarbonyliron complexes and their
relatives offer an interesting approach to the problem of acyclic stereocontrol. Functional …

The application of acyclic (diene) iron complexes and (pentadienyl) iron cations in organic
synthesis has steadily increased over the past 20 years. This is due to their ease of …

Catalysis is an important field in both academic and industrial research because it leads to
more efficient reactions in terms of energy consumption and waste production. The common …

The addition of stabilized carbon nucleophiles to tricarbonyl (1-methoxycarbonylpentadienyl
) iron (1+) cation (1a) proceeds via attack at C2 on the face of the ligand opposite the Fe …

Complexation of (tricarbonyl) iron to an acyclic diene serves to protect the ligand against
oxidation, reduction, and cycloaddition reactions, whereas the steric bulk of this adjunct …

Methodology for the synthesis of the C7–C13 segment (19) and C14–C24 segment (41) of
macrolactin A have been developed. Dicarbonyl (methyl 7-nitro-2E, 4Z-heptadienoate) …

A route to 1, 2, 3-trisubstituted cyclopropanes has been developed. The relative
stereochemistry at the three cyclopropane centers is established by nucleophilic attack on …

A series of aryl‐substituted cyclohexadienyliron complexes have been prepared by a
general procedure that determines regioselectivity by correctly positioning leaving groups in …

The C7-C24 tetraene triol segment of macrolactin A was prepared using organoiron
chemistry. Two (carbonyl) iron moieties are responsible for stereoselective preparation of …
