Abstract

Oxidative allylation to sp2-and sp3-carbon attached to the nitrogen atom was accomplished. The α-allylation of tertiary amines was catalyzed by easily available hydrated iron (III) chloride in combination with air or aqueous tBuOOH. Remarkably, N-allyl-and N-propagyl- tethered tertiary amines were also allylated through this protocol.
