Visible-light photoredox-promoted desilylative allylation of α-silylamines: An efficient route to synthesis of homoallylic amines

Abstract A facile and efficient synthesis of homoallylic amines by visible-light photoredox-promoted desilylative allylation of α-silylamines with allylic sulfones is described. A variety of α-silylamines derived from anilines, cyclic and acyclic alkyl amines reacted with a serious of mono or disubstituted allylic sulfones well to provide homollylic amines in good to high yields under very mild reaction conditions.
