Transition-metal-free allylation of 2-azaallyls with allyl ethers through polar and radical mechanisms

Allylation of nucleophiles with less reactive electrophiles, such as carbonates, usually requires a transition-metal catalyst. Here, the authors show a transition-metal-free allylation strategy with allyl ether electrophiles to form homoallylic amine derivatives in up to 92% yield.
