Cat. in the bag : The pictured copper complex can promote CC bond cleavage through retro‐allylation of homoallyl alcohols to form allylcopper species. This process is applicable to catalytic allylation of aldehydes and imines with homoallyl alcohols. The method has also been extended to regioselective allenylation and propargylation of imines.
