Significance

Chirik and co-workers report a regio- and diastereoselective iron-catalyzed [4+4] cycloaddition of 1,3-dienes, leading to various substituted cyclooctadienes in excellent yields.


 

Comment

Remarkably, with the choice of the iron catalyst, the cyclodimerization can be controlled in a diastereoselective fashion. Extensive mechanistic studies were performed and catalytically relevant iron complexes were isolated and characterized.
