The formation of two carbon-carbon bonds using vinylarenes with alkylsilyl peroxides and β-keto carbonyl substrates is effected by the presence of catalytic Fe(OTf) 2 under mild reaction conditions. A variety of vinylarenes with different substituents can be utilized in combination with several different alkylsilyl peroxides and β-keto carbonyl substrates.
