Allylic aminations, crotyl acetate/piperidine

Fig. 5. Application of dendrimeric ligand 4 in the allylic amination of crotyl acetate and piperidine using a CFMR (% conversion of crotyl acetate in the product stream vs substrate flow), (a) P/Pd = 2, (b) P/Pd = 4, Koch MPF-60 NF membrane, molecular weight cut-off = 400 Da) )18b).

Pd-catalyzed allylic amination of crotyl acetate by piperidine, while exhibiting a reduced rate as is commonly observed for heterogenized systems (90% conversion achieved after 30 min compared with 5 min for the homogeneous system). Interestingly, the catalyst could be recycled three times via a simple filtration step. Subsequently, the catalyst was separated from the support and the support was uploaded with hydroformylation catalysts.
