An allylamine derivative of the formula
where R1 = H or CH3, R2 = 4-methyl-pentyl or-OCH3, R3, R4 = 1-4C alkyl or 5-8C cycloalkyl and R3 can be H, and R3 + R4 can link to form a 5- or 6-numbered ring, is treated with rhodium-phosphine complex as catalyst, of the formula [Rh (Y)L]+ X - Where Y = ethylene, 1,3-butadiene, cycloxadiene, cycloactadiene or L; X= Cl O4, BF4 or PF6, and L is a binaphthyl derivative of formula
where R = H, -CH3 or tert-butyl, so as to isomerise the double bond (a) to the position (b) to form the corresponding enamine; if R3 = H, hydrotropy tautomerism occurs at the CH2-N-Y-group to form the imine.
The preparation of the catalyst is described.
The reaction is preferably carried out in a solvent such as an ether, ketone or halide at 80° to 120°C for 1-15 hours using 1:2,000 to 1:10,000 mole catalyst per mole of derivative (I), followed by distillation off of the solvent..
The products are obtained in high yield and of high optically active purity.
