Abstract

Abstract Manganese-porphyrins and particularly Mn (TPP)(ClO 4) were found to be much better catalysts than iron-porphyrins for allylic N-tosylamination of alkenes by tosyliminoiodobenzene. With the former catalysts, cyclohexene was selectively transformed into 3-tosylaminocyclohexene with yields up to 70% and cis-and trans-hex-2-ene into allylic N-tosylamines with yields around 40%, whereas cyclooctene led to the corresponding ...
