Iron-Catalyzed Reactions and the Role of Metal Contaminants Julien Bonnamour Iron-Catalyzed Reactions and the Role of Metal Contaminants Von der Fakultät für Mathematik, Informatik und Naturwissenschaften der RWTH Aachen University zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Master of Science Julien Bonnamour aus Paris (France) Berichter: Universitätprofessor Dr. Carsten Bolm Universitätprofessor Dr. Dieter Enders Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26.08.2011 Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Hochschulbibliothek online verfügbar This thesis presents the work carried out at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of RWTH Aachen University between October 2007 and July 2011 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Carsten Bolm. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Carsten Bolm for giving me the opportunity to work in his group on this interesting research theme and also for the nice working atmosphere. I would like to thank also Prof. Dr. Dieter Enders for his kind assumption of the co-reference. Parts of this work have already been published: 1) J. Bonnamour, C.
