Significance
A mechanistically unique concept of allylating aryl imines with unactivated allylic alcohols is described using stoichiometric amounts of titanium and magnesium. The reaction scope is broad, allowing for the synthesis of a variety of homoallylic amines in good yields and high anti-selectivity. Of particular note is the reaction’s compatibility with vinyl halides.
