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 direct functionalization of heterocyclic compounds has emerged as one of the most
important topics in the field of metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation due to the fact that …

The first cobalt-catalyzed cyanation, halogenation, and allylation via C–H activation have
been realized. These formal SN-type reactions generate valuable (hetero) aryl/alkenyl …

In chemistry, a nucleophile is a molecule or ion with a lone pair of electrons. It donates both
bonding electrons to its reaction partner (the electrophile) when forming a chemical bond. 1 …

This review focuses on chelation-assisted regioselective C–H activation with C–C or/and C–
N bond formation using nickel (0) or-(II) as the catalysts, where bidentate directing groups …

For green and sustainable chemistry, molecular oxygen is considered as an ideal oxidant
due to its natural, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly characteristics, and therefore …

The use of first row transition metal complexes is one of the mainstreams in modern
homogeneous catalysis. The case of manganese is peculiar in that catalytic applications of …

Non‐precious‐metal‐catalyzed reactions are of increasing importance in chemistry due to
the outstanding ecological and economic properties of these metals. In the subfield of metal …

The direct alkylation of unactivated sp3 C–H bonds of aliphatic amides was achieved via
nickel catalysis with the assist of a bidentate directing group. The reaction favors the C–H …

The biheteroaryl structural motif is prevalent in polymers, advanced materials, liquid crystals,
ligands, molecules of medicinal interest, and natural products. Many types of synthetic …
