Shining a light on Fe-catalyzed borrowing hydrogen alkylation
<h2>Abstract</h2> The borrowing hydrogen (BH) approach enables commodity alcohols to be employed as alkylating agents, generating water as the sole by-product. Recently, Fe-based catalysts have been utilized in combination with visible light irradiation to enable alkylation processes at near room temperature, which improves sustainability metrics while presenting opportunities for further reaction development.
