Isoprene and aniline have been reacted on the catalytic system Pd(acac
)2-Ph3P to form a mixture of isomeric telomers: N-(dimethyloctadien-2,
7-yl-1)anilines and N-(dimethyloctadien-1,7-yl-3)anilines but on the c
atalytic system Pd(acac)2-Ph3P-CF3COOH the main product is a mixture o
f N-(methylbuten-2-yl)aniline adducts. The reaction between N-methylan
iline and isoprene on the latter catalyst also gives a mixture of N-me
thyl and N-(methylbuten-2-yl)aniline adducts.
