Zirconium-mediated SN2' substitution of allylic ethers: regio- and stereospecific formation of protected allylic amines.

ABSTRACT: A new zirconium-mediated, regio- and stereospecific SN2' substitution of allylic ethers with a nitrogen nucleophile has been developed. Cbz-protected amine products were isolated in high yield from reactions with a wide range of Z allylic ethers. A mechanism of the allylic substitution consistent with the results of the kinetics and kinetic isotope effect studies was proposed.
