Within the cubane synthesis the initially produced cyclobutadiene moiety (see p. 329) is only stable as an iron(O) complex (M. Avram, 1964 G.F. Emerson, 1965 M.P. Cava, 1967). When this complex is destroyed by oxidation with cerium(lV) in the presence of a dienophilic quinone derivative, the cycloaddition takes place immediately. Irradiation leads to a further cyclobutane ring closure. The cubane synthesis also exemplifies another general approach to cyclobutane derivatives. This starts with cyclopentanone or cyclohexane-dione derivatives which are brominated and treated with strong base. A Favorskii rearrangement then leads to ring contraction (J.C. Barborak, 1966). 

Cyclopentadiene itself has been used as a feedstock for carbon fiber manufacture (76). Cyclopentadiene is also a component of supported metallocene—alumoxane polymerization catalysts in the preparation of syndiotactic polyolefins (77), as a nickel or iron complex in the production of methanol and ethanol from synthesis gas (78), and as Group VIII metal complexes for the production of acetaldehyde from methanol and synthesis gas (79).

The smallest member, cyclobutadiene, was the objective of attempted synthesis for many years. The first success was aehieved when cyclobutadiene released from a stable iron complex was trapped with various reagents. ... 

The double bond transposition could also be achieved by the conversion of an intermediate for PGA2 synthesis into a 1,3-diene iron tricarbonyl complex from which PGC2 was synthesized in four steps. The Fe(CO)3 diene complex which survived the Wittig reaction was cleanly removed by Collins reagent in the subsequent step (Ref. 10).

There are very few examples of asymmetric synthesis using optically pure ions as chiral-inducing agents for the control of the configuration at the metal center. Chiral anions for such an apphcation have recently been reviewed by Lacour [19]. For example, the chiral enantiomerically pure Trisphat anion was successfully used for the stereoselective synthesis of tris-diimine-Fe(ll) complex, made configurationally stable because of the presence of a tetradentate bis(l,10-phenanthroline) ligand (Fig. 9) [29]. Excellent diastereoselectivity (>20 1) was demonstrated as a consequence of the preferred homochiral association of the anion and the iron(ll) complex and evidence for a thermodynamic control of the selectivity was obtained. The two diastereoisomers can be efficiently separated by ion-pair chromatography on silica gel plates with excellent yields.

The direct reductive amination (DRA) is a useful method for the synthesis of amino derivatives from carbonyl compounds, amines, and H2. Precious-metal (Ru [130-132], Rh [133-137], Ir [138-142], Pd [143]) catalyzed reactions are well known to date. The first Fe-catalyzed DRA reaction was reported by Bhanage and coworkers in 2008 (Scheme 42) [144]. Although the reaction conditions are not mild (high temperature, moderate H2 pressure), the hydrogenation of imines and/or enam-ines, which are generated by reaction of organic carbonyl compounds with amines, produces various substituted aryl and/or alkyl amines. A dihydrogen or dihydride iron complex was proposed as a reactive intermediate within the catalytic cycle. 

Previous studies by Sorokin with iron phthalocyanine catalysts made use of oxone in the oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol [134]. Here, 4 equiv. KHSO5 were necessary to achieve full conversion. Otherwise, a hexamethyl-biphenol is observed as minor side-product. Covalently supported iron phthalocyanine complexes also showed activity in the oxidation of phenols bearing functional groups (alcohols, double bonds, benzylic, and allylic positions) [135]. Besides, silica-supported iron phthalocyanine catalysts were reported in the synthesis of menadione [136]. 

Other iron-imido complexes have also been reported. Holland and coworkers reported the synthesis of the imidoiron(III) complex [L FeNAd] [40, 41]. This imidoiron(III) complex has not been isolated and was found to convert to a purple high-spin iron(III) complex. It has an S = 3/2 ground state from EPR measurement. Based on the results of QM/MM computations, [L EeNAd] is a three-coordinated complex with an Fe-N distance of 1.68 A and has a nearly linear Fe=N-C unit with Fe-N-C angle of 174.1°. Chirik and coworkers made use of liable ligands to prepare iron-imido complexes by treatment of C PDI)-Fe(N2)2 ( PDI = (2,6- Pr2CgH3N = CMe)2C5H3N) with a series of aryl azides [47].
