Significance

This system allows for highly ste­reoselective intramolecular allylic aminations and etherifications as well as intermolecular allylic amination followed by intramolecular cyclization (shown). Low catalyst loading (2 mol%), and fast reaction times make this a suitable system for the synthesis of various ring sized N-heterocycles.
