TLDR
The enantioselective synthesis of the benzoquinolizidine 2 highlights the utility of the stereoselectively iron-catalyzed cyclization of enedienes and affords the opportunity to prepare analogues of protoemetinol, psychotrine, and related natural products.

Organic synthesis with the most abundant transition metal–iron: from rust to multitasking catalysts

TL;DR: The field of iron catalysis has been explored in the last two-three decades out of its rich chemistry depending on its oxidation states and ligand cooperation as discussed by the authors, and this field has been enriched by the promising development of iron-catalyzed reactions namely, C-H bond activation, including organometallic C−H activation and C−h functionalization via outer-sphere pathway, crossdehydrogenative couplings, insertion reactions, cross-coupling reactions, hydrogenations including hydrogen borrowing reactions, hydrosilylation and hydroboration, addition reactions

Asymmetric synthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids

TL;DR: The use of chiral formamidines affixed to variously substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines, allows asymmetric C-C bond forming reactions to occur α-to the amino group.

Reactivity of tricarbonyl(pentadienyl)iron(1+) cations: enantioselective synthesis of 5-HETE methyl ester

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of 5-HETE methyl enter (1) was achieved in 11 steps from tricarbonyl [1-(methoxycarbonyl)pentadienyl]iron(1+) hexafluorophosphate (2).
