3-Component palladium-indium mediated diastereoselective cascade allylation of imines with allenes and aryl iodides

A new palladium-indium diastereoselective cascade allylation of imines using allenes and aryl iodides is described; N-tosyl and N-aryl homoallyl amines were obtained in moderate to good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity was observed when enantiomerically pure N-tert-butane-sulfinyl imines were employed in the cascade.
