title: FeCl3-catalyzed oxidative allylation of sp2 and sp3 C-H bond adjacent to a nitrogen atom: easy access to homoallyl tertiary amines.
abstract: Oxidative allylation to sp(2)- and sp(3)-carbon attached to the nitrogen atom was accomplished. The alpha-allylation of tertiary amines was catalyzed by easily available hydrated iron(III) chloride in combination with air or aqueous (t)BuOOH. Remarkably, N-allyl- and N-propagyl-tethered tertiary amines were also allylated through this protocol.
