Carbonylation of allylamines proceeds smoothly in the presence of a palladium-phosphine catalyst to give P,y-unsaturated amides in good yields. ... Carbonylation is a useful process, because introduction of CO into organic substrates gives singly homologated products. Carbonylation of allylic compounds such as ally1 esters192 gives homoallylic compounds. During our continuing studies on the carbonylation of allylic compounds, we found that carbonyl- ation of ...
