Oxidative rearrangement of allylic selenides in the presence of various amine nucleophiles provides synthetic access to a variety of allylic amine derivatives. The stereochemical outcome of these reactions has been investigated, and is consistent with a [2, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangement mechanism. Several Da-aminO acids and racemic &y-unsaturated a-amino acids were prepared in this manner. A variant of this process employing an achiral allylic ...
