Abstract

The one-pot hydrozirconation of allenes and nitriles followed by an in situ transmetalation of the allylzirconocene with dimethylzinc or zinc chloride provides functionalized homoallylic amines. An intramolecular version of this process leads to 3-aminotetrahydrofurans and 3-aminotetrahydropyrans.

Keywords: 3- and 4-aminotetrahydropyrans; 3-aminotetrahydrofurans; allene; hydrozirconation; nitrile; transmetalation.
