title: Fe-Catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions.
abstract: Cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC), which enables the formation of carbon-carbon (C-C) and C-heteroatom bonds from the direct coupling of two C-H bonds or C-H/X-H bonds, represents a new state of the art in the field of organic chemistry. Iron, a prominent metal, has already shown its versatile application in chemical synthesis. This review attempts to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of cross-dehydrogenative coupling via iron catalysis, as well as its application in synthetic chemistry.
