A highly regioselective reaction between allylzinc bromide reagents and α,β-unsaturated
oxime ethers for the one-step synthesis of the homoallylic amines is reported. This
process is a regioselective 1,2-addition reaction providing a new γ-position with
carbon–carbon bond formation. Furthermore, the reaction substrates are widely applicable
and can be produced in a high yield.
