Abstract

Setting sail towards new horizons is the iron(II)‐catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of CO bonds. With the robust, highly active N2P2 macrocyclic catalysts described by A. Mezzetti and co‐workers in their Communication on page 5171 ff., a wide scope of substrates can be hydrogenated, obtaining high yields and enantioselectivities by literally paying the iron price.
