Abstract

Palladium nanoparticles, generated in situ from the reaction of palladium (II) chloride, have been demonstrated to be an efficient catalyst for C− N bond formation. A variety of aliphatic and aromatic amines have been allylated by substituted and unsubstituted allyl acetates in high yields by using palladium nanoparticles in the presence of a base without any ligand. The allylations are highly regio-and stereoselective.
