AlkenylExchange of Allyl­amines via Nickel(0)-CatalyzedC–C Bond Cleavage

A functional group exchange reaction between allylamines and alkenes via nickel-catalyzed C—C bond cleavage and formation was developed. This reaction provides a novel protocol, which does not require the use of unstable imine substrates, for the synthesis of allylamines, which are widely used in the production of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
