Recent Trends in Iron‐Catalyzed Reactions towards the Synthesis of Nitrogen‐Containing Heterocycles
Abstract
Heterocycles are generally biologically active compounds and find widespread applications in medicinal chemistry, agricultural science and the fine chemical industry. For the synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles, great efforts have been ascribed over the past decades. The syntheses of heterocyclic compounds are significant due to their diverse biological activity. Recently, iron‐catalyzed reactions have experienced remarkable progress in the synthesis of heterocycles. This review summarizes recent trends in the iron‐catalyzed synthesis of nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic compounds.

Frontispiece: Photoredox Catalysis with Metal Complexes Made from Earth-Abundant Elements
This review summarizes recent advances made with photoactive CrIII, FeII, CuI, ZnII, ZrIV, Mo0 and UVI complexes in the context of synthetic organic photoredox chemistry using visible light as an energy input. Mechanistic considerations are combined with discussions of reaction types and scopes. Perspectives for the future of the field are discussed against the background of recent significant developments of new photoactive metal complexes made from earth-abundant elements.

Iron-Catalyzed Reductive Ethylation of Imines with Ethanol
Abstract
The borrowing hydrogen strategy has been applied to the ethylation of imines with an air-stable iron complex as precatalyst. This approach opens new perspectives in this area as it enables the synthesis of unsymmetric tertiary amines from readily available substrates and ethanol as a C2 building block. A variety of imines bearing electron-rich aryl or alkyl groups at the nitrogen atom could be efficiently reductively alkylated without the need for molecular hydrogen. The mechanism of this reaction, which shows complete selectivity for ethanol over other alcohols, has been studied experimentally and by means of DFT computations.
The borrowing hydrogen strategy was applied to the ethylation of imines with an air-stable iron complex as precatalyst. This approach enables the synthesis of unsymmetric tertiary amines from readily available substrates and ethanol as a C2 building block. The reductive alkylation of imines bearing electron-rich aryl or alkyl groups at the N atom is thus possible in the absence of molecular hydrogen.

Recent Advances in Magnesium Carbenoid Chemistry
Synthesis
DOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1590894

Magnesium carbenoids are a class of organomagnesium species possessing a halo group at the α-position. The reactions of magnesium carbenoids can be classified into the following three categories: nucleophilic reactions resembling Grignard reagents, electrophilic reactions resembling organic halides, and rearrangements resembling carbenes. This short review summarizes recent studies on magnesium carbenoids reported between 2010 and 2016, and milestone studies reported before 2010 according to the classification of the reactions into the aforementioned three categories.1 Introduction2 Structures of Magnesium Carbenoids3 Reactions of Magnesium Carbenoids as Nucleophiles3.1 Nucleophilic Reactions of Magnesium Carbenoids3.2 Nucleophilic Reactions of Magnesium Alkylidene Carbenoids3.3 Nucleophilic Reactions of Cyclopropylmagnesium Carbenoids4 Electrophilic Reactions of Magnesium Carbenoids4.1 Reactions with Nucleophiles Followed by Electrophiles4.2 Reactions with Nucleophiles Possessing Electrophilic Functional Groups4.3 Nucleophilic Substitution Followed by β-Elimination5 Rearrangements of Magnesium Carbenoids5.1 1,2-Shifts of Magnesium Carbenoids5.2 1,3-C–H Insertions of Magnesium Carbenoids5.3 1,5-C–H Insertions of Magnesium Carbenoids5.4 [2+1] Cycloaddition of a Magnesium Carbenoid6 Conclusion and Outlook
