A regio- and enantioselective tandem reaction is reported capable of directly transforming readily accessible achiral allylic alcohols into chiral sulfonyl-protected allylic amines. The reaction is catalyzed by the cooperative action of a chiral ferrocene palladacycle and a tertiary amine base and combines high step-economy with operational simplicity (e.g. no need for inert-gas atmosphere or catalyst activation). Mechanistic studies support a Pd II-catalyzed [3,3] rearrangement of allylic carbamates - generated in situ from the allylic alcohol and an isocyanate - as the key step, which is followed by a decarboxylation.

The streamlined catalytic access to enantiopure allylic amines as valuable precursors towards chiral β- and γ-aminoalcohols as well as α- and β-aminoacids is desirable for industrial purposes. In this article an enantioselective method is described that transforms achiral allylic alcohols and N-tosylisocyanate in a single step into highly enantioenriched N-tosyl protected allylic amines via an allylic carbamate intermediate. The latter is likely to undergo a cyclisation-induced [3,3]-rearrangement catalysed by a planar chiral pentaphenylferrocene palladacycle in cooperation with a tertiary amine base. The otherwise often indispensable activation of palladacycle catalysts by a silver salt is not required in the present case and there is also no need for an inert gas atmosphere. To further improve the synthetic value, the rearrangement was used to form dimethylaminosulfonyl-protected allylic amines, which can be deprotected under non-reductive conditions.

PdII-catalyzed alkene aminopalladation and allylic Ci￡H activation are two competing reaction sequences sharing the same reaction conditions. This study aimed at understanding the factors that bias one or the other path in the intramolecular oxidative cyclization of two types of N-tosyl amidoalkenes. The results obtained are in accord with the initial generation of a high-energy cyclic (5- or 6-membered) aminopalladated intermediate. However, this latter species can evolve only if the following specific conditions are met: the availability of distocyclic β-H elimination pathway, the presence of a strong terminal oxidant, or the availability of a carbopalladation pathway. Conversely, the cyclic alkylpalladium complex is only a latent species in equilibrium with the initial substrate and cannot evolve. Such a reactivity hurdle leaves the way open for alternative reactivities such as allylic Ci￡H activation of the olefinic substrate to generate a η3-allyl complex followed by its interception by the nitrogen nucleophile, [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, or decomposition. This study proposes a unifying mechanistic picture that connects these competing mechanisms. Asleep or awake? Unsaturated N nucleophiles react through two competing pathways under PdII catalysis: Ci￡H allylic activation and aminopalladation. New data are in accord with the initial generation of a high-energy cyclic aminopalladated intermediate (API) that can either evolve along different pathways such as β-H elimination, oxidation, or carbopalladation, or lay dormant, the latter leading to alternative types of reactivity, such as allylic Ci￡H activation or [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, gaining the upper hand (see scheme; Ts=p-toluenesulfonyl).
