[Chemical Equation Presented] An anionic iron complex catalyzes the decarboxylative allylation of phenols to form allylic ethers in high yield. The allylation is regioselective rather than regiospecific. This suggests that the allylation proceeds through π-allyl iron intermediates in contrast to related allylations of carbon nucleophiles that have been proposed to proceed via π-allyl complexes. Ultimately, iron catalysts have the potential to replace more expensive palladium catalysts that are typically utilized for decarboxylative couplings.
