Rh(III)-Catalyzed chemo-, regio- and stereoselective carboamination of sulfonyl allenes with -phenoxy amides or -enoxy imides.

The Rh(III)-catalyzed chemo-, regio- and stereoselective carboamination of sulfonyl allenes has been realized by virtue of either -phenoxy amides or -enoxy imides simultaneously acting as the C- and N-sources, redox-neutral tandem C-H activation/allene insertion/oxidative addition/C-N bond formation for the direct construction of allylamine derivatives equipped with an α-quaternary carbon center. This protocol features high atom-economy with good substrate compatibility and exhibits profound synthetic potential for late-stage C-H modification of complex molecules.
