Abstract

The direct activation of C O bonds in allylic alcohols by palladium complexes has been accelerated by carrying out the reactions in the presence of titanium reagents. The palladium-catalyzed amination of allylic alcohols using aminonaphthalenes gave N-allylic naphthylamines in good yields. The monoallylation products are formed in the main.
