“…Among the different existing strategies, [1] thef ormal metalmediated insertion of carbene fragments into C(sp 3 )ÀH bonds [2] is an appealing methodology because of its greater atom economy when compared with the most extended crosscoupling procedures,e mploying organometallic coupling partners (boron, zinc,o rG rignard reagents). [4] In contrast, iron systems,which are attractive from asustainability perspective, [5] have shown modest activity and are limited to less demanding processes,i ncluding cyclopropanation reactions, [6] and alkylation of C(sp 2 )ÀH, [7] heteroatom-hydrogen, [8] and relatively weak allylic and benzylic (BDE < 90 Kcal mol À1 )C (sp 3 )ÀH bonds (Scheme 1).
