An attractive strategy for generation of 伪-amino anions from aldehydes with applications in synthesis of homoallylic amines is described. Aromatic aldehydes can be converted to 伪-amino anion equivalents via amination with 2,2-diphenylglycine and subsequent decarboxylation. The in situ generated 伪-imino anions are highly reactive for Pd-catalyzed allylation, forming the corresponding homoallylic amines in high yields with excellent regioselectivity.
