Amination of allylic alcohols is an effective approach in the facile synthesis of N-allylic alkylation or N-alkylation amines. Recently, a series of catalysts were devised to push forward this transformation. However, current synthetic methods are typical

Although iron-catalysis provides a powerful alternative to the more conventional palladium and nickel in the cross-coupling arena, the major limitation is the necessity for carcinogenic N-methylpyrrolidone as a co-solvent in the vast majority of catalytic reactions. Herein, we introduce N-methylcaprolactam as an efficient, non-toxic and practical dipolar aprotic solvent for iron-catalyzed C(sp2)?C(sp3) alkylative cross-coupling of aryl chlorides and tosylates. The utility of this method is reflected by its wide substrate scope, high yields and capacity to cross-couple challenging alkyl organometallics prone to b-hydride elimination and homocoupling. Considering the broad utility of iron-catalyzed cross-coupling, we envision that N-methylcaprolactam will find wide application as a substitute for carcinogenic NMP.
