An amine‐methylchloroformate‐paraformaldehyde‐styrene condensation catalyzed by aluminium(III) triflate is described, leading to the synthesis of allylamides. This condensation provides an efficient method for the N‐carbonylation and N‐allylation of various aliphatic primary amines in good to excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
