Abstract

A novel iron-catalyzed arylmethylation of activated alkenes was developed using di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) as the methyl radical source. This cascade process involved the sequential methyl radical addition, 1,4-aryl migration, and desulfonylation of sulfonyl acrylamides to afford a variety of α-aryl-β-methyl amides in good to moderate yields.
