Abstract

An efficient and mild iron-catalyzed direct allylation of benzyl alcohols and benzyl halides with allyltrimethylsilane has been developed. The present reaction would provide an excellent alternative to published methods because of its excellent yields, sustainable catalyst, and mild conditions.
