Enantioselective Cross-couplings between Halide Derivatives and Organometallics by Using Iron and Cobalt Catalysts: Formation of C-C Bonds.

Abstract

This review highlights the recent achievements of iron- and cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective cross-couplings of halide derivatives with organometallic reagents for the construction of C-C bonds. Synthetic applications of enantioselective cross-couplings to natural products and biologically active compounds are also covered showing the power of these cross-couplings in organic synthesis.
