Intermolecular Amination of Allyl Alcohols with Sulfamates: Effective Utilization of Mercuric Catalyst.

Herein, we describe the intermolecular amination of allyl alcohols with sulfamates, which have been underutilized as nitrogen nucleophiles for allylic amination. Methyl sulfamate is a good nucleophile in the presence of mercuric triflate and efficiently generates monoallylation products in excellent yield at room temperature. Furthermore, the solid-supported mercuric catalyst silaphenyl mercuric triflate also showed remarkable catalytic activity for the allylic amination.
