Abstract

With the intention of having a less toxic process, iron species have been added to the relatively large list of catalysts known to carry out allylation reactions. 20 Allylation of aldehydes with allyl trimethylsilane occurs also with FeCl 3 . 20b In the same time, we initiated a work investigating iron catalysis 21 because of the abundance of the metal, its low toxicity, and its cheap price. We have recently reported iron-catalyzed electrochemical allylation reactions of carbonyl ...
