(Chemical Equation Presented) Iron at the crossroads: A remarkable mechanistic dichotomy in iron-catalyzed allylic substition increases not only the scope of regioselective allylic alkylation but could also herald the development of asymmetric allylic substitution (see Scheme, MTBE = methyl tert-butyl ether). Depending on the ligand used, either a σ-or a π-allyl mechanism is observed.
An unusual synthesis of malonates

The reaction of palladium diacetate, triethylamine, ethyl chlorocarbonate and carbon monoxide in acetonitrile at room temperature gives a good yield of diethyl malonate. By 13C labelling of each of the reagents in turn it has been proven that the methylene group of the malonate comes from an acetate originally bonded to PdII.
