Abstract

Abstract Hydrolytic deallylation of N-allyl amides to give amides and propanal can be achieved with Pd II catalysts. The optimized catalyst consists of Pd (OCOCF 3) 2 and 1, 3-bis (diphenylphosphanyl) propane (DPPP). Several kinds of open-chain N-allyl amides and N- allyl lactams undergo hydrolytic deallylation to give the corresponding amides and lactams in good to high yield. A mechanism which includes isomerization to enamides and ...
