Palladium-catalysed allylic substitution is a widely used method in organic synthesis, although it requires prefunctionalized starting materials or stoichiometric oxidants. Here the authors report a radical route to form π-allylpalladium complexes, and develop a 1,4-aminoalkylation of dienes under redox-neutral conditions.
