Palladium catalyst systems for the regioselective Mizoroki–Heck arylation of N,N‐diprotected and N‐protected allylamines with aryl chlorides have been developed. Pd(OAc)2 in combination with appropriate additives could efficiently catalyze the linear arylation of N,N‐diprotected allylamines with aryl chlorides in toluene to give exclusively the γ‐arylated products in good to excellent yields and with
A general and convenient palladium‐catalyzed oxidative Heck arylation of both N‐protected and N,N‐diprotected allylic amines with arylboronic acids under mild conditions has been developed. The catalyst system, consisting of Pd(OAc)2 (palladium acetate), AgOAc (silver acetate) and KHF2 (potassium hydrogen fluoride), could efficiently catalyze the coupling reaction in acetone without the aid of any
