Tandem radical and non-radical reactions mediated with thiols—a new method of cleavage of allylic amines

Abstract

Thiyl radical promotes the isomerisation of allylic amines into enamines via two consecutive hydrogen atom abstraction steps, and the subsequent polar addition of the corresponding thiol to the enamine results in the cleavage of the C–N bond via a thioaminal intermediate: this reaction provides a mild, metal-free methodology for the deprotection of allylated primary and secondary amines.
