Significance

The authors report the use of a NON-pincer ligand for the asymmetric iron-catalyzed carboazidation reaction of styrenes. A variety of alkyl halides generating stabilized radicals were used.

Comment

A complex system involving synergistic effects of both van der Waals and π-interactions were found to be responsible for the stereocontrol of the reaction.
