Cobalt(iii)-catalysed C–H allylation with vinylaziridines†
Abstract
A cobalt-catalysed C–H allylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with vinylaziridines is described. This transformation occurring under mild reaction conditions proceeds through C–H activation, carbon–carbon double bond insertion and β-nitrogen elimination. Its scope and limitations have been investigated and a synthetic application of products has been achieved.
