Abstract
Guided by the concept of green and sustainable development, the design of inexpensive iron-based catalysts for organic reactions in water has attracted much interest of scientists. The iron-catalyzed organic reaction in water is a “natural-like” synthesis since iron enzymes display superior catalytic activity in living organisms (aqueous system). This review focuses on the lastest three-year investigations on organic reactions in water over iron catalysts, and analyzes the facilitation mechanisms of iron catalysts and water on different reactions. Both the iron-catalyzed reaction mechanisms and preparation approaches of heterogeneous iron catalysts are also addressed. In addition, the challenges and opportunities in the field are emphasized to insight regarding the further development of this research.
