Abstract
Allylic amination reactions enable the conversion of alkene feedstocks into value-added products with significant synthetic versatility. Here we describe a method for allylic amination involving photoredox activation and Cu(II)-mediated radical-polar crossover. A range of structurally varied allylic amines can be accessed using this strategy. The regioselectivity of this process is complementary to those of conventional methods for allylic amination.
