The first examples of heterogeneous Fe-catalysed cyclopropanation reactions are presented. Pyrolysis of <i>in situ</i>-generated iron/phenanthroline complexes in the presence of a carbonaceous material leads to specific supported nanosized iron particles, which are effective catalysts for carbene transfer reactions. Using olefins as substrates, cyclopropanes are obtained in high yields and moderate diastereoselectivities. The developed protocol is scalable and the activity of the recycled cataly ...[more]
