Abstract
Iron-catalyzed C–H activation has recently emerged as an increasingly powerful tool for the step-economical transformation of unreactive C–H bonds. Particularly, the recent development of low-valent iron catalysis has set the stage for novel C–H activation strategies via chelation assistance. The low-cost, natural abundance, and low toxicity of iron prompted its very recent application in organometallic C–H activation catalysis. An overview of the use of iron catalysis in C–H activation processes is summarized herein up to May 2016.
