Nitrene insertion of CH bonds represents a powerful synthetic method to form nitrogen‐containing organic compounds. This article summarized recent development of iron‐catalyzed nitrene insertion of CH bonds for the construction of CN bonds and organized by the types of nitrene precursors, including iminoiodanes, organic azides, hydroxylamine derivatives, sulfonamides, etc. Important examples and breakthroughs in this field are highlighted, and the current mechanistic understandings of the formation of iron‐nitrenoid species and the catalytic cycles are discussed. Additionally, the synthetic application of this chemistry is also included.
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.
