description

Abstract Allyl alcohols react with primary aromatic amines and stoichiometric amounts of mercury(II) tetrafluoroborate to give mixtures of mono- and diallyl anilines. However, the use of the tandem aminomercuration-deoxymercuration promoted by catalytic mercury(II) tetrafluoroborate allows to perform regiospecifically the monoallylation reaction with very high yields. A mechanism is proposed to account for the observed results.
