The emerging field of organometallic catalysis has shifted towards research on Earth-
abundant transition metals due to their ready availability, economic advantage, and novel …

The transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals, advanced materials, and
energy is a long-standing challenge in both fundamental science and industry. In recent …

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

As alcohols are ubiquitous throughout chemical science, this functional group represents a
highly attractive starting material for forging new C–C bonds. Here, we demonstrate that 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 …

Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have become essential tools for the construction of
carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. Over the last three decades, great efforts …

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 …

The stereocontrolled construction of C− C bonds remains one of the foremost challenges in
organic synthesis. At the heart of any chemical synthesis of a natural product or designed …
