Abstract
Polysubstituted allylic amines were regio- and stereoselectively synthesized by a one-pot tandem reaction of Cu(I)-catalyzed carbomagnesiation of acetylenic sulfones and its further reaction with N-tosylimine.

Notes
a Isolated yield based on the acetylenic sulfone used. The ratio of Z/E was determined by 300 MHz 1H NMR spectra of the unpurified reaction mixture.
