A novel and efficient allylic alkylation reaction between π-activated ethers and allylsilane was realized under mild conditions through iron(III)-catalyzed C sp 3-O ether bond cleavage. The present protocol provides an attractive approach for the construction of sp3-sp3 C-C bonds and can be potentially applied for the selective reduction of benzyl and allyl ethers to their corresponding hydrocarbon compounds by using triethylsilane as a hydride-transfer reagent. A mild, economical, and environmentally friendly method for the construction of C sp 3-C sp 3 bonds through iron-catalyzed π-activated C-O ether bond cleavage is developed. In addition, this catalytic system can be used for the selective reduction of benzylic and allylic C-O ether bonds to C-H bonds. Copyright
