Abstract This paper describes the synthesis of allylic amines by aryl azides (ArN 3) catalysed by [Ru (TPP) CO](TPP= dianion of tetraphenylporphyrin). The employment of aryl azides renders the methodology sustainable as the formation of molecular nitrogen is the only stoichiometric byproduct. The isolation of catalytic intermediates and spectroscopic and kinetic studies revealed interesting information about the reaction mechanism, which ...
