Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of α-Allenyl Esters with Grignard Reagents for the Synthesis of 1,3-Dienes.

ABSTRACT: Structurally diverse 1,3-dienes are valuable building blocks in organic synthesis. Herein we report the iron-catalyzed coupling between α-allenyl esters and Grignard reagents, which provides a fast and practical approach to a variety of complex substituted 1,3-dienes. The reaction involves an inexpensive iron catalyst, mild reaction conditions, and provides easy scale up.
