Abstract

Recently, iron-catalyzed CÀC coupling reactions have been extensively studied because they are an interesting way to avoid using palladium or nickel complexes, which are toxic and/or expensive. Valuable advances have been made in this field over the last few years by our group [1] and others,[2] however, there is currently a reduction in the rate of discovery and improvement of iron-catalyzed coupling reactions. In fact, most reactions reported ...
