Alkenes are attractive building blocks for synthetic organic chemists as they are widely available and can be functionalized in ways that enable manifold further transformations. Here, the authors present a suite of hydrofunctionalizations of alkenes that lead to regioselective delivery of azides and halogens, under mild conditions, with iron catalysis.
