Abstract

Formal [4+4] reaction of the unsaturated benzyl- or allylimines, which is efficiently mediated by primary amine, provides the 2,6,9-triazabicyclo[3.3.1] nonane derivatives. Variously substituted homo- and hetero-coupling products are obtained in good to excellent yields by quite a simple procedure under mild conditions: by mixing the unsaturated aldehydes with the amines at room temperature.
