title: Synthesis of homoallylic amines via the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of amino acid derivatives.
abstract: Protected homoallylic amines are synthesized by the decarboxylative coupling of alpha-amino acid derivatives. The catalytic C-C bond-forming reaction relies on the bioinspired decarboxylative metalation of alpha-amino acids to produce alpha-amino anion equivalents. The alpha-amino anion equivalents are intercepted by pi-allyl palladium electrophiles to produce substituted homoallylic amines.
