Homoallyl alcohol as an allylation reagent for termination of the Catellani–Lautens reaction via retro-allylation†
Abstract
A palladium/norbornene-catalyzed ortho-amination/allylation of aryl iodides was developed for the construction of ortho-aminated allylbenzene by using N-benzoyloxyamine as the amination reagent and homoallyl alcohol as the allylation reagent. The reaction showed good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope.
