Abstract

Herein, we describe the intermolecular amination of allyl alcohols with sulfamates, which have been underutilized as nitrogen nucleophiles for allylic amination. Methyl sulfamate is a good nucleophile in the presence of mercuric triflate and efficiently generates monoallylation products in excellent yield at room temperature. Furthermore, the solid‐supported mercuric catalyst silaphenyl mercuric triflate also showed remarkable catalytic activity for the allylic amination.
