title: Iron-catalyzed N-alkylation using π-activated ethers as electrophiles.
abstract: A new method for the synthesis of diverse N-alkylation compounds was developed via an iron-catalyzed etheric C(sp(3))-O cleavage with the C-N bond formation in the reaction of π-activated ethers with various nitrogen-based nucleophiles. In addition, the mechanism of this reaction was investigated.
