title: Double allylation reactions of (2-azaallyl)stannanes: synthesis of N,N-bis(3-butenyl)amines and their conversion to 2,3,6,7-tetrahydroazepines via ring-closing metathesis.
abstract: [reaction in text] Treatment of (2-azaallyl)stannanes (i) with 2.2 equiv of allylmagnesium bromide afforded good yields of N,N-bis(3-butenyl)amines derivatives (ii), which were subjected to ring-closing metathesis to afford 2,3,6,7-tetrahydroazepines (iii). Thus, (2-azaallyl)stannanes are the synthetic equivalents of amine alpha,alpha'-dications.
