Abstract
A catalytic amount of iron trichloride enables C-C and C-N bond formation reactions of O-heterocycles accompanied by ring opening in the presence of TMSN3 or allylsilanes. The reactions smoothly proceeded at room temperature to give the corresponding primary saturated alcohols from 2-substituted tetrahydrofurans, ortho-substituted benzyl alcohols from phthalanes, and saturated carboxylic acids from lactones in high yields.
