A direct access to unsymmetrical and symmetrical multi-substituted pyridines has been accomplished via iron-catalysed [3+3] annulation of oxime acetates with enaminones. This protocol is featured by easily available starting materials, no requirement of expensive additives and ligands, operational simplicity, and good tolerance with diverse functional groups.

Multifaceted Hidden Catalysis Revealed by Mechanistic Analysis of FeBr-Catalysed Arene Borylation.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
December 2024
EaStCHEM School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, David Brewster Road. Edinburgh, EH9 3FJ, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Arene borylation reactions allow for the creation of aryl organoboranes like boronic esters, typically requiring precious metals for catalysis.
- Significant research is focused on using Earth-abundant metals; in this case, iron is used with H-B-9-BBN to catalyze reactions without extra ligands.
- The study reveals that instead of directly catalyzing, the iron salt initiates the production of a more active haloborane, which plays a crucial role in borylation, indicating a new catalytic mechanism in these reactions.
Iron-catalysed intramolecular C(sp)-H amination of alkyl azides.

Iron-catalysed intramolecular C(sp)-H amination of alkyl azides (NR, R = alkyl) the iron-alkylnitrene/alkylimido (Fe(NR)) intermediate, is an appealing synthetic approach for the synthesis of various N-heterocycles. This approach provides a direct atom-economy strategy for constructing C(sp)-N bonds, with nitrogen gas as the only by-product and iron is a biocompatible, cheap, and earth-abundant metal. However, C(sp)-H amination with alkyl azides is challenging because alkyl nitrenes readily undergo 1,2-hydride migration to imines.

Department of Chemistry, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Recent advancements in synthesizing organofluorine compounds have primarily focused on traditional methods, but this study introduces a novel enzymatic approach using iron-catalyzed radical transfer for creating C-F bonds.
- - The researchers repurposed an enzyme called HppE to effectively catalyze a specific type of fluorination to produce chiral benzylic fluoride products, achieving high efficiency and selectivity.
- - The study's findings suggest that the rate-determining step is related to activating the N-F bond, and the effectiveness of the process increases with the presence of sodium azide, improving the reaction's spatial dynamics.

Catalytic cross-coupling by transition metals has revolutionized the formation of C-C bonds in organic synthesis. However, the challenge of forming multiple alkyl-alkyl bonds in crowded environments remains largely unresolved. Here, we report the regioselective functionalization of olefins with sp-hybridized organohalides and organozinc reagents using a simple (terpyridine)iron catalyst.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is characterised by cell death of parenchymal liver cells which interact with their microenvironment to drive disease activity and liver fibrosis. The identification of the major death type could pave the way towards pharmacotherapy for MASH. To date, increasing evidence suggest a type of regulated cell death, named ferroptosis, which occurs through iron-catalysed peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in membrane phospholipids.
