Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of allylamines via C–N bond activation leading to β,γ-unsaturated amides†
Abstract
Pd(Xantphos)Cl2 has been identified as an efficient catalyst for the direct carbonylation of allylamines via C–N bond activation. The reaction proceeds smoothly and provides β,γ-unsaturated amides in good to excellent yields under relatively mild conditions.
