A novel and efficient allylic alkylation reaction between π‐activated ethers and allylsilane was realized under mild conditions through iron(III)‐catalyzed C –O ether bond cleavage. The present protocol provides an attractive approach for the construction of sp3–sp3 C–C bonds and can be potentially applied for the selective reduction of benzyl and allyl ethers to their corresponding hydrocarbon compounds by using triethylsilane as a hydride‐transfer reagent.
