FeCl3·6H2O Catalyzed Disproportionation of Allylic Alcohols and Selective Allylic Reduction of Allylic Alcohols and Their Derivatives with Benzyl Alcohol

Iron chloride has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the disproportionation of allylic alcohols, which provides a convenient method for selective transformation of allylic alcohols to alkenes and α,β-unsaturated ketones. Furthermore, this catalytic system is also effective for highly selective allylic reduction of allylic alcohols, allylic ethers, and allylic acetates with benzyl alcohol under neutral and convenient reaction conditions.

氯化铁已被证实为一种高效的催化剂，用于对烯丙醇的不对称分解，此方法为烯丙醇的选择性转化为烯烃及α,β-不饱和酮提供了一种便捷途径。此外，该催化体系在温和的反应条件下，对烯丙醇、烯丙基醚和烯丙基乙酸酯与苄醇的烯丙基还原反应也表现出高度选择性。
