Abstract

Allylic amines are carbonylated at room temperature in the presence of cobalt catalysts under UV irradiation. With allylamine, 2-pyrrolidone, N, N′-diallylurea, and N-allyl-3- butenamide were obtained. The photochemical cleavage of C–N bond of amines coordinated to cobalt metals was suggested.
