Abstract
A readily available cyclopentadienyliron(II) dicarbonyl complex enables the functionalization of propargylic and allylic C-H bonds via deprotonative activation. Reactions of unsaturated building blocks with aryl aldehydes and other carbonyl electrophiles provide a range of unsaturated alcohols under operationally simple and functional group tolerant reaction conditions.
