Abstract
A series of organometallic reagents have been added to a 2-arylsubstituted vinamidinium perchlorate. The resulting reaction mixture was treated with borane or diisobutylaluminum hydride solution to produce a series of 3-substituted-2-aryl-N,N-dimethyl allylic amines. The overall one-pot procedure constitutes a convenient synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted allylic amines.
