A variety of alkyl peresters and alkyl diacyl peroxides, which are readily accessible from carboxylic acids, are utilized as general primary, secondary, and tertiary alkylating reagents for iron-catalyzed vinylic C?H alkylation of vinyl arenes, dienes, and 1,3-enynes. This transformation affords olefinic products in up to 98 % yield with high E/Z values. A broad range of functionalities, including carboxyl, boronic acid, methoxy, ester, amino, and halides, are tolerated. This protocol provides a facile approach to some olefins that are difficult to access, and hence, offers an alternative to existing systems. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by late-stage functionalization of selected natural-product derivatives.

An iron-catalyzed oxyalkylation of alkynes with alkyl peroxides as the alkylating reagents has been investigated. Alkyl peroxides are readily available from aliphatic acids and serve simultaneously as the alkylating reagents and internal oxidants. Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl groups of aliphatic acids were readily incorporated into C?C triple bonds and diverse α-alkylated ketones were synthesized. Mechanism studies revealed that this reaction involves highly reactive alkyl free radicals. A unique equilibrium between lauric acid and water catalyzed by the iron(III) catalyst was observed.
