Iron-Catalyzed C–C Bond Formation via Chelation-Assisted C–H Activation

Abstract

This review provides a brief overview of iron‐catalyzed C−C bond forming reactions via heteroatom‐assisted C−H bond activation, which have been extensively developed in the last decade. Three major types of reactions are discussed, namely, (1) C−H activation/C−C coupling using organometallic reagents under oxidative conditions, (2) C−H activation/C−C coupling using organic electrophiles under redox‐neutral conditions, and (3) C−H activation/C−C coupling using unsaturated hydrocarbons under redox‐neutral or oxidative conditions.
