From Oblivion into the Limelight: Iron Catalysis

A short highlight with 23 references on the use of iron catalysis, with particular application in domino reactions has appeared (A Furstner, Ang. Chem. Int. Ed., 2009, 48, 1364-7). The focus is on the ability of iron to modulate the reactions of Grignard reagents in cross-coupling and related processes.
