Allyl substitution in a supercritical carbon dioxide medium catalyzed by complexes of palladium with phosphite-type ligands

Allyl amination and alkylation catalyzed by a palladium complex-phosphite-type-ligand catalyst in a supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) medium is studied. It is demonstrated that that the Pd-containing catalysts dissolved in SC-CO2 provide a high regioselectivity of the reaction and, thus, offer a convenient method for synthesizing allylamines.
