Abstract

The oxygen atom of hydroxylamines having an N-electron-withdrawing substituent (also known as hydroxamic acids) acts as a reactive nucleophile in transition-metal-catalyzed allylic substitutions. The palladium-catalyzed O-allylic substitution of hydroxylamines with allylic carbonate afforded linear hydroxylamines, whereas branched hydroxylamines were observed in iridium-catalyzed reactions.
