The cross-coupling of allylic electrophiles with boronic acids and boronates is extremely useful for the formation of CÀC bonds and for the introduction of the allyl moieties to target compounds.[1, 2] Allylic halides,[3] esters,[4] carbonates,[4f, g, 5] phosphates,[6] and alcohols [7] have been identified as allylic electrophiles with significantly different reactivity and selectivity. It is noteworthy that the employment of an allylic alcohol as the allylic electrophile is very attractive with respect to atom economy because the leaving OH group has a mass of 17 amu, which is much smaller than that of a halo or an OR (R ¼6 H) group. Nevertheless, the coupling of an achiral allylic alcohol with a boronic acid has been reported to afford a racemic product.[7f] To our knowledge, a leaving group with a mass smaller than 17 amu has not yet been reported for the coupling of an allylic electrophile with an organoboron.In contrast to allylic halides and alcohol derivatives, allylic amines have rarely been employed to deliver allyl moieties to final products in the cross-coupling reactions owing to the poor leaving ability of the amino group.[8] Notably, in 1995 Trost etal. described a nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of terminal tertiary allylic amines with boronic acids.[8g] Although the reaction suffers from narrow substrate scope and poor selectivity, this study, together with our interest in CÀN bond cleavage,[9] prompted us to investigate the possibility of using primary allylic amines as the allylic electrophiles. Herein, we report that the NH2 group, having a mass of 16 amu, acts as an effective leaving group in the palladium-catalyzed regioselective and stereospecific crosscoupling of primary allylic amines with boronic acids and
