Allylamines are common moieties in biologically active compounds1 and important intermediates in organic synthesis. Many syntheses of allylamines have been documented including (i) reaction of alkenyl cuprates with iminium salts, R-aminoethers or R- aminothioethers, 2 (ii) reaction of Grignard reagents with allyl-R-aminonitriles, 3 and (iii) the amination of dienes4 and allylic halides. 1a, 5 The most general approach is based on the ...
