ABSTRACT
An efficient, direct allylic amination of both cyclic and acyclic Morita–Baylis–Hillman alcohols with aromatic amines, in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature, catalyzed by Pd(0)/Et3B, is reported herein. The corresponding amines are obtained with a high α -regioselectivity in 65–87% yields.
