Sleeping beauty? Is the scientific community about to kiss awake iron catalysis, a topic that has been dormant for decades? A recent study on a user-friendly direct cross-coupling reaction of alkyl and aryl halides constitutes an important step toward this end through the integration of two different iron-catalyzed elementary steps into a practical one-pot procedure.
