K. Takai et al., STEREOSELECTIVE PREPARATION OF PRIMARY (E)-ALLYLIC AMINES BY THE REACTION OF TANTALUM-ALKYNE COMPLEXES WITH METALLO-IMINES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(12), 1994, pp. 1893-1896
Treatment of tantalum-alkyne complexes with lithio-imines at 25 simila
r to 50 degrees C for several hours in the presence of Me(3)Al gives p
rimary (E)-allylic amines having adjacent tertiary carbons in good to
excellent yields.
