Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling under Aerobic Conditions: A Decade of Progress

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The progressive maturation of oxidative transformations is perhaps most compellingly reflected in the selectivity of iron-catalyzed homonuclear C–C and C–X linkages. With recent developments contextualized within the existing literature, this review offers a rich resource for those focused on efficient and sustainable methodologies. This review focuses on homogeneous, heterogeneous, and cooperative catalytic systems, ligand-engineered iron complexes, and environmentally conscious reaction parameters. Strategic catalyst modulation and the scope of reaction pathways are analyzed in depth, highlighting both substrate versatility and the robustness of the system, while providing a roadmap for future innovation and addressing existing limitations.
