Abstract

Cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) reactions involving C–H bond activation are powerful tools for C–C bond formation and are highly significant from the perspective of atom economy. A variety of carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions utilizing various coupling partners are known today. Iron-catalyzed organic syntheses have attracted considerable attention because iron is an abundant, inexpensive, and environmentally benign metal. This chapter summarizes the development of iron-catalyzed CDC reactions, the reaction mechanism, and the role of the Fe species in the catalytic cycle in the period from 2007 to 2014.
