3-Component palladium–indium mediated diastereoselective cascade allylation of imines with allenes and aryl iodides

Abstract

A new palladium–indium diastereoselective cascade allylation of imines using allenes and aryl iodides is described; N-tosyl and N-aryl homoallyl amines were obtained in moderate to good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity was observed when enantiomerically pure N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines were employed in the cascade.
