Abstract: New immonium trifluoroacetates 1 and 2 react readily with functionalized organozinc or magnesium reagents leading to the corresponding aminomethylated products of type 5 and 7. The resulting bis-allylamines were deallylated leading to primary amines. Key words: organometallic reagents, zinc, magnesium, aminomethylation, primary amines, deprotection
