A facile highly regio- and stereoselective preparation of N-tosyl allylic amines from allylic alcohols and tosyl isocyanate via Palladium(II)-catalyzed aminopalladation-beta-heteroatom elimination
The high regio- and stereoselectivity have been obtained from the allylic substitution reaction catalyzed by palladium(II) species. From allylic alcohols, one-pot reaction with tosyl isocyanate followed by palladium(II)-catalyzed allylic substitution gives N-tosyl (E)-allylic amines in high yield. The substitution occurs only at the gamma-position of the 1- or 3-substituted allylic alcohols.
