32. The inclusion of catalytic amine base, recently discovered to promote intermolecular allylic C-H aminations with N-tosyl carbamate nucleophiles (ref 8b), gave a minor increase in yield for substrate 2a (15% → 37%); however, the diastereoselectivity was significantly diminished (5.1:1 → 1.8:1 syn:anti).

38. Heating the reaction with N-tosyl carbamate substrates to 65°C also promoted reactivity; however, the yields were lower, and inconsistent results were observed.
