Abstract

Recent examples highlighted the use of iron salts in combination with chiral bipyridine-containing ligands for highly enantioselective reactions. Very high enantioselectivities were obtained for various organic transformations, such as oxidation, Mukaiyama aldol and epoxide-opening reactions. These examples represent new entries in the field of green chemistry and sustainable development.
