Chemoselective, metal-mediated oxidation of (dienol)iron complexes with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide

Synthesis and applications to catalysis of novel cyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complexes

New approaches to enantiomerically-pure cyclopentadienone iron complexes, and their applications to ketone reductions reactions, are described.

Iron cyclopentadienone complexes derived from C2-symmetric bis-propargylic alcohols; preparation and applications to catalysis

The following complexes were prepared through cyclisation of a bis-propargylic alcohol and were tested as redox catalysts for hydrogen transfer reactions of alcohols and ketones.
