Stannylated allylic carbonates are suitable substrates for Pd-catalyzed allylic aminations. In DMF and with [allylPdCl](2) as catalyst the stannylated allyl amines formed can be directly coupled with electrophiles according to the Stille protocol, giving rise to highly functionalized building blocks
