Mild, selective 1: 1 reactions of amines with dienes to form allylic amines are rare1 and limited to the reaction of cyclic dialkylamines catalyzed by nickel. 2 Late transition metalcatalyzed, amine-induced telomerizations of butadiene1 and oxidative 1, 4 addition of nucleophiles to dienes3 are now well known, and the palladium-catalyzed additions of amines to more reactive eneynes4 and allenes5 have been reported. However, reactions of dienes with amines generally occur at high temperatures and produce isomeric mixtures. 1c, f, g We report the use of a high-throughput colorimetric assay to identify catalysts for the regioselective 1: 1 hydroamination of dienes at room temperature. 6, 7 The scope of the diene hydroamination is broad and includes enantioselective examples. To evaluate simultaneously a large number of potential catalysts for the hydroamination, we developed a colorimetric method to monitor the presence or absence of anilines. Furfural undergoes a condensation and ring opening with 2 equiv of aniline, but not with the allylic amine product, in the presence of acid to create a red product. 8 Thus, addition of furfural and acid to catalytic reactions of aromatic amines will reveal which catalysts are most active; reactions that consume the largest amount of aniline will show an absence of the red color. Typically, the reactions were diluted to distinguish the colors. Figure 1 displays the results of this colorimetric assay for the reaction of aniline with cyclohexadiene. A set of potential catalysts generated from commercially available coordination complexes and common phosphines was assembled from stock solutions in a 96-well glass plate prior to the addition of reactants. Acids have been shown to inhibit telomerization of butadiene, eneynes, and allenes. Thus, we conducted reactions in the presence and absence of 10 mol% of TFA. After 4 h, some reactions conducted in the presence of acid showed, by the colorimetric assay, complete conversion of aniline, while reactions in the absence of acid required longer times to observe reaction. GC/MS analysis of solutions showing conversion of aniline indicated formation of1: 1 adducts without telomerization. These experiments showed that complexes formed from [Pd (π-allyl) Cl] 2 and PPh3 were the most active (Figure 1). These two materials are known to form PPh3-ligated Pd (0), 9 and NMR experiments in THF showed formation of Pd (PPh3) 4 immediately upon mixing. Thus, we used the readily available Pd (PPh3) 4 for preparative-scale reactions. Table 1 shows results from preparative reactions containing 2 mol% Pd (PPh3) 4 and 10 mol% TFA as catalyst and cocatalyst. Reactions were typically run at room temperature in toluene for 24 h, but shorter times could be used. All reactions occurred in high yield regardless of the presence of an electron-withdrawing, electron-donating, or ortho substituent on the aniline. Both the electron-rich (entries 7, 9) and electron-poor anilines (entries 5, 6) gave the addition products in high yields, although reactions (1)(a) For a review on telomerizations, see: Behr, A.
