Dedicated to Professor Zhen Yang on the occasion of his 63rd birthdayThe dual-catalysis tactics where two types of catalysts are connected in one single reaction operation are highly prized in the novel bond constructions that are difficult or unattainable to be achieved with current mono-catalysis. In recent years, increased emphasis on sustainable catalytic methods on more economic and eco-friendly processes has shifted the focus to catalysis with earth-abundant transition metals, such as iron, copper, and so on. As two of the most inexpensive and environmentally friendly metals on earth, the research and development based on either iron or copper catalysis are flourishing, and iron-copper dual-catalyzed reactions appeal more and more attention. In this review, we mainly cover the construction of CÀ C, CÀ N, CÀ B, CÀ P, CÀ S and CÀ Sn bonds enabled by iron-copper dual-catalysis published in the literature from 2011.
Metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions are amongst the most widely used methods to directly construst new bonds. In this connection, sustainable and practical protocols, especially transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, have become the...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
