Direct allylic amination of allylic alcohols with amine nucleophiles to produce water as the only byproduct is one of the most attractive reactions in modern organic synthesis.[1] Therefore, significant resources have been devoted to developing the latent ability of transition-metal reagents with the aim of achieving allylic amination from allylic alcohols in high catalytic turnover.[2, 3] Recently, Shibasaki, Matsunaga, and co-workers reported the ...
