Abstract

Abstract Image

An efficient highly regio- and stereoselective iron-catalyzed conjugate addition of 2,3-allenoates with primary or secondary alkyl, phenyl, or vinyl Grignard reagents to synthesize multi-substituted β,γ-unsaturated enoates has been reported. The in situ formed magnesium dienolate may readily react with different electrophilic reagents to construct an allylic quaternary carbon at the α-position of the ester group.
