title: Iron-catalyzed electrochemical allylation of carbonyl compounds by allylic acetates.
abstract: Homoallylic alcohols were synthesized from aldehydes or ketones and allylic acetates, using an electrochemical process catalyzed by iron complexes. We first studied the reactivity of allyl acetate, using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or acetonitrile (AN) as solvent, FeBr(2) as catalyst, and Fe as the sacrificial anode. Then we tested the regioreactivity of crotyl acetate and other allylic derivatives.
