Abstract

Propylene gas is produced worldwide by steam cracking on million-metric-ton scale per year. It serves as a valuable starting material for transformations involving double bonds but is rarely applied in allylic C–H functionalization through transition metal catalysis. Herein, we describe that a newly developed cationic cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl complex enabled the conversion of propylene to its allylic hydroxyalkylated derivatives in a catalytic mode. This protocol provides a new deprotonation strategy for allylic C–H activation chemistry with good functional group tolerance. Furthermore, a range of simple terminal olefins were well employed in this catalyst system with distinctive regioselectivity.
