Catalytic CuCN.2LiBr (5 mol%) Mediated Allylation of 1-Methyl- N,N-Dimethyl-4-pentene in THF with Representative Halides

Entry	Halides	Time	Temp	Productb	Yielda,c
1		12 h	23 °C		≥ 95%
2		10h	23 °C		≥ 95%
3		5 h	23 °C		60%
4		4 h	23 °C		65%

^aMonitored by No-D ¹H NMR using disappearance of C-Zn methylene peak to determine completion.⁷

^bProducts were isolated as TFA salts subsequent to allylation in THF.

^cA small quantity of the TFA salt of the starting N,N-dimethylhydrazinoalkene 1 was admixed with the product.
