The use of transition metals as catalyst in mediating organic reactions is inevitable. In the first part of the thesis, we discussed thoroughly the usage of cheap and environmentally friendly iron(III) catalyst in promoting reactions of (i) benzylic acetates with organosilanes; (ii) reductive dehydr...
