Abstract

Terminal alkynes undergo intermolecular hydroaminoalkylation reactions with secondary amines in the presence of titanium catalysts and depending on the catalyst and the structure of the substrates, allylic amines and/or imines are formed as products in moderate yields. In addition, the desired allylamines can also be obtained from a convenient reaction sequence consisting of an initial hydroaminoalkylation of trimethylsilyl-protected alkynes and a subsequent protodesilylation that selectively delivers γ-unsubstituted allylamines.
