Key words: supercritical carbon dioxide, allylic substitution, palladium complexes, phosphites, regioselectivity
Allylic amination and alkylation catalyzed by Pd complexes is carried out in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-СO2) using phosphite-type ligands. It is shown that Pd-catalysts dissolved in SC-СO2 provide a high regioselectivity and thus present a useful approach to the synthesis of allylamines.
