Iron strikes again! 🎉 Check out our latest finding in ACS Catalysis on a well-defined Fe(0) precatalyst for C–H alkenylations of ketimines. The Fe catalysis operates under mild conditions and tolerates functional groups that are incompatible with previously reported precatalysts. Well done Max, Matthias and João!
