The direct activation of C-O bonds in allyl alcohols by palladium complexes has been accelerated by carrying out the reactions in the presence of titanium(IV) isopropoxide and 4A molecular sieves. N-Allylation of anilines to give mono- and diallylanilines using allyl alcohols directly has been realized by employing palladium catalysts.
