The iron-catalyzed coupling of alkenes and enones through allylic C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H functionalization is reported. This redox-neutral process employs a cyclopentadienyliron(II) dicarbonyl catalyst and simple alkene substrates to generate catalytic allyliron intermediates for 1,4-addition to chalcones and other conjugated enones. The use of 2,4,6-collidine as the base and a combination of triisopropylsilyl triflate and LiNTf<sub>2</sub> as Lewis acids was found to facilitate this transformation ...[more]
