Recent advances in iron catalyzed reactions in organic synthesis

Abstract

The transition metal catalyzed reactions are widely developed in current years. Most of the transition metals are expensive and are not easily available like; Gold (Au), Iridium (Ir), Palladium (Pd), Platinum (Pt), Ruthenium (Ru), Rhodium (Rh) etc. Iron is one of the highly plentiful, cheap and easily available transition metals. It has been consistently used in organic synthesis nowadays. In this review we have described the role of iron in organic reactions like C-C, C-O, C-N, C-S and N-S bond forming reactions. This review highlights the advancements in iron based organocatalysis from 2005 to 2020.
