Palladium-catalyzed allylic C-H amination of alkenes with N-fluorodibenzenesulfonimide: water plays an important role

A new palladium-catalyzed highly regioselective allylic C-H amination of alkenes with NFSI in the presence of a catalytic amount of water was developed and successfully expanded to Selectfluor-mediated palladium-catalyzed aminations of alkenes with N-tosylcarbamates in water at room temperature.
