The association of the ferrous complex FeCl(dmpe) () with alkali bases M(hmds) (M = Li, Na, K) proves to be an efficient platform for the activation of Ar-H bonds. Two mechanisms can be observed, leading to either Ar-Fe species by deprotonative ferration or hydrido species Ar-Fe-H by oxidative addition of transient Fe(dmpe) generated by reduction of . Importantly, the nature of the alkali cation in M(hmds) has a strong influence on the preferred path. Starting from the same iron precursor, diverse catalytic applications can be explored by a simple modulation of the M cation. Possible strategies enabling cross-coupling using arenes as pro-nucleophiles, reductive dehydrocoupling, or deuteration of B-H bonds are discussed.

A unified strategy toward asymmetric divergent syntheses of nine C8-ethano-bridged diterpenoids (candol A, powerol, sicanadiol, -candol A, atisirene, -atisan-16α-ol, 4-decarboxy-4-methyl-GA, trachinol, and -beyerane) has been developed based on late-stage transformations of common synthons having -kaurane and -trachylobane cores. The expeditious assembly of crucial advanced -kaurane- and -trachylobane-type building blocks is strategically explored through a regioselective and diastereoselective Fe-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) 6--trig cyclization of the alkene/enone and 3--trig cyclization of the alkene/ketone, showing the multi-reactivity of densely functionalized polycyclic substrates with π and π systems in HAT-initiated reactions. Following the rapid construction of five major structural skeletons (-kaurane-, -atisane-, -beyerane-, -trachylobane-, and -gibberellane-type), nine C8-ethano-bridged diterpenoids could be accessed in the longest linear 8 to 11 steps starting from readily available chiral γ-cyclogeraniol and known chiral γ-substituted cyclohexenone , in which enantioselective total syntheses of candol A (, 8 steps), powerol (, 9 steps), sicanadiol (, 10 steps), -candol A (, 8 steps), -atisan-16α-ol (, 11 steps), and trachinol (, 10 steps) are achieved for the first time.
