Abstract
Iron (III) chloride is extensively used in organic synthesis as an ideal Lewis acid since it is an inexpensive, efficient, stable, environmentally friendly and a convenient agent for several useful reactions such as; polymerisations, oxidations, oxidative couplings, reductions, C C bond formation, Ferrier rearrangement, one-pot multicomponent condensations, Friedel-Crafts reactions, cyclisations, glycosidation, Prins-type cyclisation, deprotection of various functional groups, and as a reagent in key steps of natural products synthesis. This comprehensive review attempts to cover the advances in this field, which have occurred in the last five years.
Keywords: Polymerisation reactions, chromophores, Deprotections, Oxidative Couplings, 3,3-diaryl alkylpropionates, Carbometalation, alkynes

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
