15. For access to Z -1,2-disubstituted allylamines a semi-hydrogenation approach is taken using propargylic N -phthalamides or ammonium salts using Lindlar's catalyst, which necessitates use of the alkyne and the added complications of using the phthalamide protecting group or running the reaction under acidic conditions; for an example, see: Tomassy, B.; Zwierzak, A.
