title: α,β-Unsaturated imines via Ru-catalyzed coupling of allylic alcohols and amines.
abstract: A convenient synthesis of α,β-unsaturated imines requiring only an allylic alcohol, an amine and a Ru catalyst has been developed. The use of large excesses of oxidant and the purification of sensitive intermediates can be avoided.
