Heterocycles are generally biologically active compounds and find widespread applications in medicinal chemistry, agricultural science and the fine chemical industry. For the synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles, great efforts have been ascribed over the past decades. The syntheses of heterocyclic compounds are significant due to their diverse biological activity. Recently, iron‐catalyzed reactions have experienced remarkable progress in the synthesis of heterocycles. This review summarizes recent trends in the iron‐catalyzed synthesis of nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic compounds.
