Abstract

The mechanism for the iron-catalyzed C–H functionalization of simple monosubstituted allenes is investigated. In this report, we determined that the mechanism of this transformation involves a deprotonation causing the organoiron species to transform from a datively bound η2-allene complex to a neutral η1-propargyliron complex. This iron species acts as a nucleophile for in-situ generated electrophiles, performing a SE2’ type reaction resulting in a disubstituted allene. Herein, we additionally discuss the subtle differences in ligand design and the ramifications on various reaction yields through analysis of electronic properties and x-ray structure.
