Direct metal-free deoxygenation of highly active allylic alcohols catalyzed by a Br?nsted acid was achieved, which avoids tedious reaction steps and eliminates metal contamination. By examining a series of Br?nsted acids, alcohols, reaction temperatures and so on, up to 94% yield was obtained with 10 mol% TsOH·H2O as the catalyst and 2 equiv. of p-methylbenzyl alcohol as the reductant at 80 °C for 2 h. The system was mainly suitable for aromatic allylic alcohols, and the yield was excellent as determined via gram-scale synthesis. The main product was double bond near the side of a more electron-rich aryl group when allylic alcohols featuring different substituents at the 1 and 3 positions were used as the substrates. Deuterium-labelled experiments clearly demonstrated that the hydrogen source was the methylene of p-methylbenzyl alcohol and other control experiments indicated the existence of two ether intermediates. Interestingly, in situ hydrogen transfer of allylic benzyl ether is a key process, but kinetic isotopic effect studies (kH/kD = 1.28) showed that the C-H bond cleavage was not the rate-determining step. A possible mechanism involving carbocations, ether intermediates and hydrogen transfer is proposed.

An efficient one-pot synthesis of indenes from simple starting materials is presented. This process involves a dual C–C bond formation through an intermolecular Heck coupling reaction followed by acid-mediated intramolecular cyclodehydration. The strategy

Iron-catalyzed Heck coupling of benzyl chlorides and styrenes proceeds under photochemical conditions using the well-known anionic complex, [FeCp(CO)2]- (Fp-), as a catalyst. The reaction likely proceeds through the established SN2 mechanism for Fp- alkylation, followed by styrene migratory insertion and β-hydride elimination steps that are enabled by photochemical CO dissociation.
