Abstract

Phosphinoamide-scaffolded heterobimetallic palladium-titanium complexes are highly effective catalysts for allylic aminations of allylic chlorides with hindered secondary amine nucleophiles. Various sterically bulky secondary amines are efficiently allylated in high yields with low catalyst loadings. Piperidine and pyrrolidine products are also efficiently generated via intramolecular aminations.
