Electrophile-triggered Assembly of Metal Enamides and Allyl Grignard Reagent in One Pot. Novel Nucleophilic Double Allylation of Azadienes

Abstract

When an electrophile (H+ or an alkyl halide) was added to a mixture of 1-aryl-2-aza-1,3-butadiene and allyl Grignard reagent, selective assembly of the azadiene, nucleophiles, and an electrophile took place to give α,α′-diallylated amine in one pot.
