Abstract: The review summarizes and systematizes the literature data on a new promising application area of iron compounds, that is, catalysis of organic reactions. The considered reactions include halogenation, formation of C–C bonds with the participation of various substrates, new methods for the synthesis of ethers and aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acid esters, N-alkylation of aliphatic and aromatic amines and amidation of olefins and cyclopropane-containing hydrocarbons. The advances in the synthesis of quinolines and unusual cyclization reactions catalyzed by iron complexes are described.
The bibliography includes 144 references.

Keywords: iron compounds, metal complex catalysis, halogenation, C-, N-, O-alkylation, acylation, amidation, cyclization.
