Process for production of allylamines from Pi-allyl palladium complexes

摘要

The present invention provides a process for the production of allylic amines which comprises reacting a pi-allyl palladium complex with ammonia or an amine having a reactive hydrogen attached to the nitrogen atom and a cupric salt, the reaction taking place at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of the complex and in solution in a solvent for the pi-allyl palladium complex.
