Influence of the basicity of amines on the direction and structural selectivity of their telomerization with butadiene in the presence of palladium complexes

N-heterocyclic carbene–palladium catalysts for the bisdiene cyclization-trapping reaction with sulfonamides under thermal and microwave conditions

“…The predominant product formed in such reactions is a 1-amino-2,7-octadiene derivative [2]. Generally, more basic amines react better [3], however, a range of non-basic amine derivatives, for example, formamide [4], phthalimides [5] and aryl-or alkylsulfonamides [6], can also serve as nitrogen-centered trapping reagents in the linear dimerization reaction.…”
