Palladium-catalyzed allylation of aminophenol with alkynes to construct C-N bonds.

ABSTRACT

A method for the allylic alkylation of aminophenol with alkynes was developed using a palladium-catalysed allylation reaction with 100% atom economy. A series of structurally diverse N-allylic substituted allylamines were synthesized in good yields with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities under mild conditions.
