Abstract
Iron-catalyzed C–H bond activation followed by C–C bond formation has received much attention in recent years, motivated by the environmental and economical merits of iron, as well as the scientific challenge in controlling and understanding the reactivity of iron species. This review describes the utilization of iron as a catalyst for directed C–H bond activation, followed by C–C bond formation. Catalytic activation of C(sp2)-H and C(sp3-H) bonds, followed by oxidative reaction with nucleophiles, or reaction with electrophiles is described. Reactions of substrates possessing a directing group are mainly discussed, but other substrates are also presented. Carbon–heteroatom bond formation is also briefly discussed.
