A combination of catalytic amounts of Pd (0.05 mmol) and Et3B (0.3 mmol) promotes allylic alkylation of primary and secondary aromatic and aliphatic amines (1.0 mmol) by the direct use of allylic alcohols, providing tertiary amines in excellent yields under mild conditions (room temperature ![[similar]](http://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_223c.gif)
