Abstract

Compared with other transition metals, copper and iron saltsare inexpensive and stable to air and moisture. Moreover, iron isconsidered as an environmentally friendly catalyst. Due to these benigncharacteristics, both copper and iron catalysis have been extensively- investigated.More recently, inexpensive copper/iron-cocatalyzed reactionshave presented an attractive prospect for organic synthesis. Thisreview presents recent progress in copper/iron-cocatalyzedarylation, alkynylation, C-H functionalization, and conjugateaddition reactions. 1 Introduction 2 Arylation Reactions 2.1 C-N Bond Formation 2.2 C-O Bond Formation 2.3 C-S Bond Formation 2.4 Summary 3 Alkynylation Coupling Reactions 3.1 Sonogashira-Type Reactions 3.2 Glaser-Type Coupling 4 C-H Functionalization 5 Conjugate Addition Reactions 6 Conclusion
