Regioselective Iron‐Catalyzed Allylic Amination

Abstract

Iron age: An air- and water-resistant iron(−II) catalyst, in the presence of triphenylphosphane under buffered conditions, allows for the highly regioselective and stereoselective allylation of primary aromatic amines. A broad substrate range both in the aniline and in the allyl carbonate moiety is tolerated.
