Abstract
Lactones has gained increasing attention in recent years due to wide application in polymer and pharmaceutical industries. Traditional synthetic methods of lactones often involve harsh operating temperature, use of strong alkalis and toxic oxidants. Therefore, lactonization of diols under milder conditions have been viewed as the most promising route for future commercialization. A variety of metal catalysts (Ru, Pt, Ir, Au, Fe, Cu, Co, and Zn) have been developed for highly efficient oxidant-, acceptor-, base- and additive-free lactonization processes. However, only a few initial attempts have been reported with no further details on catalytic mechanism being disclosed in literature. There demands a systematic study of the mechanistic details and the structure-function relationship to guide the catalyst design. In this work, we critically reviewed and discussed the structure-function relationship, the catalytic reaction mechanism, the catalyst stability, as well as the effect of oxidant and solvent for lactonization of diols. This work may provide additional insights for the development of other oxygen-containing functional molecules for material science and technologies.

Abstract
Stereocontrolled oxa-Michael additions are challenging, given the high reversibility of the process, which ultimately leads to racemization of the newly formed stereocenters. When iron-catalyzed borrowing hydrogen from allylic alcohols was combined with a stereocontrolled organocatalytic oxa-Michael addition, a wide array of chiral tetrahydropyrans were efficiently prepared. The reaction could be performed in a diastereoselective manner from pre-existing stereocenters or enantioselectively from achiral substrates. The key to success was the reactivity of the iron complex, which was selective for allylic alcohol dehydrogenation and irreversibly led the reaction to the final product.

Abstract
(Cyclopentadienone)iron carbonyl compounds are catalytically active in carbonyl/imine reductions, alcohol oxidations, and borrowing hydrogen reactions, but the effect of cyclopentadienone electronics on their activity is not well established. A series of (tetraarylcyclopentadienone)iron tricarbonyl compounds with varied electron densities on the cyclopentadienone were prepared, and their activities in transfer hydrogenations and dehydrogenations were explored. Additionally, mechanistic studies, including kinetic isotope effect experiments and modifications to substrate electronics, were undertaken to gain insights into catalyst resting states and turnover-limiting steps of these reactions. As the cyclopentadienone electron density increased, both the transfer hydrogenation and dehydrogenation rates increased. A catalytically relevant, trimethylamine-ligated iron compound was isolated and characterized and was observed in solution under both transfer hydrogenation and dehydrogenation conditions. Importantly, it was catalytically active in both reactions. Kinetic isotope effect data and initial rates in transfer hydrogenation reactions with 4'-substituted acetophenones provided evidence that hydrogen transfer from the catalyst to the carbonyl substrate occurred during the turnover-limiting step, and NMR spectroscopy supports the trimethylamine adduct as an off-cycle resting state and the (hydroxycyclopentadienyl)iron hydride as an on-cycle resting state. In transfer dehydrogenations of alcohols, the use of electronically modified benzylic alcohols provided evidence that the turnover-limiting step involves the transfer of hydrogen from the alcohol substrate to the catalyst. The trimethylamine-ligated compound was proposed as the primary catalyst resting state in dehydrogenations.

Abstract
An efficient and general cascade synthesis of pyrroles from nitroarenes using an acid-tolerant homogeneous iron catalyst is presented. Initial (transfer) hydrogenation using the commercially available iron-Tetraphos catalyst is followed by acid catalysed Paal-Knorr condensation. Both formic acid and molecular hydrogen can be used as green reductants in this process. Particularly, under transfer hydrogenation conditions, the homogeneous catalyst shows remarkable reactivity at low temperatures, high functional group tolerance and excellent chemoselectivity transforming a wide variety of substrates. Compared to classical heterogeneous catalysts, this system presents complementing reactivity, showing none of the typical side reactions such as dehalogenation, debenzylation, arene or olefin hydrogenation. It thereby enhances the chemical toolbox in terms of orthogonal reactivity. The methodology was successfully applied to the late-stage modification of multi-functional drug(-like) molecules as well as to the one-pot synthesis of the bioactive agent BM-635.

Abstract
The ongoing shift toward clean, sustainable energy is a primary driving force behind hydrogen fuel research. Safe and effective storage of hydrogen is a major challenge (particularly for mobile applications) and requires a detailed understanding of the atomic level interactions of hydrogen with its host materials. The light mass of hydrogen, however, implies that quantum effects are important, so a quantum dynamical treatment is required to properly account for these effects in computational simulations. As one such example, we describe herein the hydrogen exchange dynamics between a hydride and a dihydrogen ligand in the [FeH(H2)(PH3)4]+ model complex. A global three-dimensional (3D) potential energy surface (PES) was constructed by fitting to and interpolating from a discrete set of grid points computed using density functional theory; exact quantum dynamical calculations were then carried out on the 3D PES using discrete variable representation basis sets. Energy levels and their quantum tunneling splittings were computed up to 3000 cm-1 above the ground state. Within that energy range, all three fundamentals have been identified using wave function plots, as well as the first three overtones of the exchange (reaction coordinate) motion and several of its combination bands. From the tunneling splittings, the Boltzmann-averaged tunneling rates were computed. The Arrhenius plot of the total exchange rate shows a clear transition around 150 K, below which the activation energy is essentially zero and above which it is less than half of the electronic structure barrier. This indicates that exchange rates are governed by quantum tunneling throughout the relevant temperature range with the low-temperature regime dominated by a single quantum (ground) state. This work is the first-ever fully quantum dynamical study to investigate the hydrogen exchange dynamics between hydride and dihydrogen ligands coordinated to a transition-metal complex.

Abstract
Irradiation of a toluene solution containing cyclo-penta-dienone tricarbonyl iron complexes and isocyanides with blue LEDs afforded the formation and isolation of 12 triisocyanide complexes, two of which, namely tris-(2,6-di-methyl-phenyl isocyanide)(η4-tetra-phenyl-cyclo-penatedienone)iron, [Fe(C9H9N)3(C29H20O)], and tris-(naphthalen-2-yl isocyanide)(η4-tetra-phenyl-cyclo-penatedienone)iron acetone hemisolvate, [Fe(C11H7N)3(C29H20O)]2·C3H6O, could be characterized crystallographically. The air-stable compounds were purified by column chroma-tography and were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and HRMS. NMR and XRD data indicate generally more electron-rich Fe0 centers compared to the corresponding tricarbonyl compounds.

Abstract
The zwitterionic halido cyclopentadienone iron complexes FeX(CO)2-NMe3 (X = Cl, Br, I) were prepared and characterized by NMR, XRD, MS, IR, and elemental analysis. Their catalytic performance in hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation was assessed. Transfer hydrogenation in boiling iPrOH with acetophenone as the test substrate showed no conversion with FeI(CO)2-NMe3. Hydrogenation reactions under H2 pressure (7.5 bar) in water as solvent showed up to 93% conversion with FeI(CO)2-NMe3 (2.5 mol %) using acetophenone as the test substrate. The overall relative reactivity order was established to be Cl < Br < I, reflecting the relative bond strengths of the Fe-X bonds. Although the compounds presented in this study can be used as precatalysts for hydrogenation reactions in water, the need to employ high temperatures, leading to more catalyst decomposition, as evidenced by pressurized sample infusion-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (PSI-ESI-MS), and high catalyst loading limits their usefulness as catalysts. The limit can be circumvented in part by salt effects analogous to those in classical solvolysis chemistry.

Abstract
Propylene gas is produced worldwide by steam cracking on million-metric-ton scale per year. It serves as a valuable starting material for π-bond functionalization but is rarely applied in transition metal-catalyzed allylic C-H functionalization for fine chemical synthesis. Herein, we report that a newly-developed cationic cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl complex allows for the conversion of propylene to its allylic C-C bond coupling products under catalytic conditions. This approach was also found applicable to the allylic functionalization of simple α-olefins with distinctive branched selectivity. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies supported the allylic deprotonation of the metal-coordinated alkene as the turnover-limiting step and led to insights into the multifaceted roles of the newly designed ligand in promoting allylic C-H functionalization with enhanced reactivity and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
A series of rhodium and iridium complexes with a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand decorated with a perylene-diimide-pyrene moiety are described. Electrochemical studies reveal that the complexes can undergo two successive one-electron reduction events, associated to the reduction of the PDI moiety attached to the NHC ligand. The reduction of the ligand produces a significant increase on its electron-donating character, as observed from the infrared spectroelectrochemical studies. The rhodium complex was tested in the [3+2] cycloaddition of diphenylcyclopropenone and methylphenylacetylene, where it displayed a redox-switchable behavior. The neutral complex showed moderate activity, which was suppressed when the catalyst was reduced.

Abstract
Iodine promotes the in situ formation of iron(II) species from η4-vinylketene[Fe(CO)3] (3a-h) as a key intermediate for the synthesis of 2(5H)-furanones (4a-h) by a sequential water-insertion/carbon-oxygen coupling under mild reaction conditions. Compounds 4a-h were obtained in good to excellent yields. A possible reaction pathway was also proposed by DFT calculations. This methodology can be extended to the synthesis of (5H)-pyrrol-2-ones using anilines, with moderate yields and a few limitations.

Abstract
A new composite, cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6])-supported magnetic nanoparticles, Fe3O4-CB[6], was synthesized via a co-precipitation method in air and fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques. It has been found to be a highly efficient, economic, and sustainable heterogeneous catalyst and has been employed for the first time for the synthesis of a series of biologically important 2-substituted benzimidazoles from various benzyl alcohols and 1,2-diaminobenzenes under solvent-free conditions via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields (68-94%). The magnetic nature of the nanocomposite facilitates the facile recovery of the catalyst from the reaction mixture by an external magnet. The catalyst can be reused up to five times with negligible loss in its catalytic activity. All the isolated products were characterized by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The unique role of the zinc (II) cation prompted us to cut a cross-section of the large and complex topic of the stimuli-responsive coordination polymers (CPs). Due to its flexible coordination environment and geometries, easiness of coordination-decoordination equilibria, "optically innocent" ability to "clip" the ligands in emissive architectures, non-toxicity and sustainability, the zinc (II) cation is a good candidate for building supramolecular smart tools. The review summarizes the recent achievements of zinc-based CPs as stimuli-responsive materials able to provide a chromic response. An overview of the past five years has been organised, encompassing 1, 2 and 3D responsive zinc-based CPs; specifically zinc-based metallorganic frameworks and zinc-based nanosized polymeric probes. The most relevant examples were collected following a consequential and progressive approach, referring to the structure-responsiveness relationship, the sensing mechanisms, the analytes and/or parameters detected. Finally, applications of highly bioengineered Zn-CPs for advanced imaging technique have been discussed.

Abstract
(Cyclopentadienone)iron carbonyl complexes have recently received particular attention for their use as catalysts in hydrogenation or transfer hydrogenation reactions including the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols. This is due to their easy synthesis from simple and cheap materials, air and water stabilities, and the crucial metal-ligand cooperation giving rise to unique catalytic properties. Here, we report a Mössbauer spectroscopic and computational investigation of such a complex and its corresponding activated species for dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions. This study affords a deeper understanding of the species formed by the reaction with Me3NO and their distribution upon the added amount of an oxidant.

Abstract
The hydrogenative conversions of the biobased platform molecules 4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone and cyclopentane-1,3-dione to their corresponding 1,3-diols are established using a pre-activated Knölker-type iron catalyst. The catalyst exhibits a high selectivity for ketone reduction, and does not induce dehydration. Moreover, by using different substituents of the ligand, the cis-trans ratio of the products can be affected substantially. A decent compatibility of this catalytic system with various structurally related substrates is demonstrated.

Abstract
This Minireview presents recent important homogenous aerobic oxidative reactions which are assisted by electron transfer mediators (ETMs). Compared with direct oxidation by molecular oxygen (O2 ), the use of a coupled catalyst system with ETMs leads to a lower overall energy barrier via stepwise electron transfer. This cooperative catalytic process significantly facilitates the transport of electrons from the reduced form of the substrate-selective redox catalyst (SSRCred ) to O2 , thereby increasing the efficiency of the aerobic oxidation. In this Minireview, we have summarized the advances accomplished in recent years in transition-metal-catalyzed as well as metal-free aerobic oxidations of organic molecules in the presence of ETMs. In addition, the recent progress of photochemical and electrochemical oxidative functionalization using ETMs and O2 as the terminal oxidant is also highlighted. Furthermore, the mechanisms of these transformations are showcased.

Abstract
(Cyclopentadienone)iron tricarbonyl complexes are catalytically active, inexpensive, easily accessible and air-stable that are extensively studied as an active pre-catalyst in homogeneous catalysis. Its versatile catalytic activity arises exclusively due to the presence of a non-innocent ligand, which can trigger its unique redox properties effectively. These complexes have been employed widely in (transfer)hydrogenation (e. g., reduction of polar multiple bonds, Oppenauer-type oxidation of alcohols), C-C and C-N bond formation (e. g., reductive aminations, α-alkylation of ketones) and other synthetic transformations. In this review, we discuss the remarkable advancement of its various synthetic applications along with synthesis and mechanistic studies, until February 2021.

Abstract
Herein we report the first FeII -catalyzed aerobic biomimetic oxidation of amines. This oxidation reaction involves several electron transfer steps and is inspired by biological oxidation in the respiratory chain. The electron transfer from the amine to molecular oxygen is aided by two coupled catalytic redox systems, which lower the energy barrier and improve the selectivity of the oxidation reaction. An iron hydrogen transfer complex was utilized as the substrate-selective dehydrogenation catalyst along with a bifunctional hydroquinone/cobalt Schiff base complex as a hybrid electron transfer mediator. Various primary and secondary amines were oxidized in air to their corresponding aldimines or ketimines in good to excellent yield.

Abstract
The reductive amination, the reaction of an aldehyde or a ketone with ammonia or an amine in the presence of a reducing agent and often a catalyst, is an important amine synthesis and has been intensively investigated in academia and industry for a century. Besides aldehydes, ketones, or amines, starting materials have been used that can be converted into an aldehyde or ketone (for instance, carboxylic acids or organic carbonate or nitriles) or into an amine (for instance, a nitro compound) in the presence of the same reducing agent and catalyst. Mechanistically, the reaction starts with a condensation step during which the carbonyl compound reacts with ammonia or an amine, forming the corresponding imine followed by the reduction of the imine to the alkyl amine product. Many of these reduction steps require the presence of a catalyst to activate the reducing agent. The reductive amination is impressive with regard to the product scope since primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl amines are accessible and hydrogen is the most attractive reducing agent, especially if large-scale product formation is an issue, since hydrogen is inexpensive and abundantly available. Alkyl amines are intensively produced and use fine and bulk chemicals. They are key functional groups in many pharmaceuticals, agro chemicals, or materials. In this review, we summarize the work published on reductive amination employing hydrogen as the reducing agent. No comprehensive review focusing on this subject has been published since 1948, albeit many interesting summaries dealing with one or the other aspect of reductive amination have appeared. Impressive progress in using catalysts based on earth-abundant metals, especially nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts, has been made during the early development of the field and in recent years.

Abstract
AbstractA convenient regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of functionalized 5a,5b-dihydro-5H,13H-naphtho[1′′,8′′:4′,5′,6′]pentaleno[1′:3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-5-ones via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 8H-cyclopenta[a]acenaphthylen-8-ones with carbonyl-stabilized isoquinolinium N-ylides, is described. Based on DFT calculations at b3lyp/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory, a nonconcerted mechanism is proposed to explain the regioselectivity of this reaction. The structure of a typical product was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Abstract
We report the first FeII -catalyzed biomimetic aerobic oxidation of alcohols. The principle of this oxidation, which involves several electron-transfer steps, is reminiscent of biological oxidation in the respiratory chain. The electron transfer from the alcohol to molecular oxygen occurs with the aid of three coupled catalytic redox systems, leading to a low-energy pathway. An iron transfer-hydrogenation complex was utilized as a substrate-selective dehydrogenation catalyst, along with an electron-rich quinone and an oxygen-activating Co(salen)-type complex as electron-transfer mediators. Various primary and secondary alcohols were oxidized in air to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones with this method in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
Transition metal catalysis in modern organic synthesis has largely focused on noble transition metals like palladium, platinum and ruthenium. The toxicity and low abundance of these metals, however, has led to a rising focus on the development of the more sustainable base metals like iron, copper and nickel for use in catalysis. Iron is a particularly good candidate for this purpose due to its abundance, wide redox potential range, and the ease with which its properties can be tuned through the exploitation of its multiple oxidation states, electron spin states and redox potential. This is a fact made clear by all life on Earth, where iron is used as a cornerstone in the chemistry of living processes. In this mini review, we report on the general advancements in the field of iron catalysis in organic chemistry covering addition reactions, C-H activation, cross-coupling reactions, cycloadditions, isomerization and redox reactions.

Abstract
Air-stable iron carbonyl compounds bearing cyclopentadienone ligands with varying substitution were explored as catalysts in dehydrogenative diol lactonization reactions using acetone as both the solvent and hydrogen acceptor. Two catalysts with trimethylsilyl groups in the 2- and 5-positions, [2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-(CH2)4(η4-C4C═O)]Fe(CO)3 (1) and [2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-(CH2)3(η4-C4C═O)]Fe(CO)3 (2), were found to be the most active, with 2 being the most selective in the lactonization of diols containing both primary and secondary alcohols. Lactones containing five-, six-, and seven-membered rings were successfully synthesized, and no over-oxidations to carboxylic acids were detected. The lactonization of unsymmetrical diols containing two primary alcohols occurred with catalyst 1, but selectivity was low based on alcohol electronics and modest based on alcohol sterics. Evidence for a transfer dehydrogenation mechanism was found, and insight into the origin of selectivity in the lactonization of 1°/2° diols was obtained. Additionally, spectroscopic evidence for a trimethylamine-ligated iron species formed in solution during the reaction was discovered.

Abstract
A one-pot iron-catalyzed conversion of allylic alcohols to α-methyl ketones has been developed. This isomerization-methylation strategy utilized a (cyclopentadienone)iron(0) carbonyl complex as precatalyst and methanol as the C1 source. A diverse range of allylic alcohols undergoes isomerization-methylation to form α-methyl ketones in good isolated yields (up to 84% isolated yield).

Abstract
Asymmetric catalysis is an essential tool in modern chemistry, but increasing environmental concerns demand the development of new catalysts based on cheap, abundant, and less toxic iron. As a result, Knölker-type catalysts have emerged as a promising class of iron catalysts for various chemical transformations, notably the hydrogenation of carbonyls and imines, while asymmetric versions are still under exploration to achieve optimal enantio-selectivities. In this work, we report a novel asymmetric design of a Knölker-type catalyst, in which the C2-rotational symmetric cyclopentadienone ligand possesses chiral substituents on the 2- and 5-positions near the active site. Four examples of the highly modular catalyst design were synthesized via standard organic procedures, and their structures were confirmed with NMR, IR, MS, and polarimetry analysis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to elucidate the spatial conformation of the catalysts, and therewith to rationalize the influence of structural alterations. Transfer- and H2-mediated hydrogenations were successfully established, leading to appreciable enantiomeric excesses (ee) values up to 70%. Amongst all reported Knölker-type catalysts, our catalyst design achieves one of the highest ee values for hydrogenation of acetophenone and related compounds.
