Platinum-catalyzed allylation of aminonaphthalenes with allylic acetates in water

The activation of C-O bonds in allylic acetates in water as a suspension medium has been accelerated by carrying out the reactions in the presence of platinum complexes associated with ligands. The platinum-catalyzed allylation of aminonaphthalenes using allylic acetates gave the corresponding N-allylic aminonaphthalenes in good yields.

The platinum-catalyzed allylation of aminonaphthalenes with allylic acetates using water as solvent could give the corresponding N-allylic aminonaphthalenes in good yields.
