Abstract

An allylation reaction that generates homoallylic amines using allyl trifluoroacetate as a nucleophilic allylmetal precursor is reported. A palladium complex catalyzes two transformations in one pot: formation of allylsilane from allyl trifluoroacetate using hexamethyldisilane and subsequent imine allylation. A three-component reaction was developed where preformed imines were replaced with aldehydes and anisidine. Under ...
