Stereoselective synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-allylamines has been achieved in a single-step by treatment of the acetyl derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts with ammonium acetate in anhydrous methanol at room temperature. The reaction proceeded under neutral conditions to form the corresponding allylamines in high yields and stereoselectivity.

The applications of the primary allyl amines afforded by the acetyl derivative of Baylis-Hillman adducts of acrylate for the synthesis of heterocycles using robust reactions are described. In the first strategy a one-pot synthesis of 5-benzyl-4(3H)- pyrimidinones have been achieved via N-formylation of the amines in the presence of neat formamide followed by ammonium formate-mediated cyclization.
