The readily synthesized trichloro acetimidamide was found to be an excellent directing group for the directed C-H-allylation reactions. Depending on the allylating agent used, selectively either mono- or diallylated products were readily synthesized. Moreover, the trichloro acetimidamide directing group was found to be highly efficient even at lower temperature for the C-H-allylation reaction. Due to mildness of the reaction conditions, double bond isomerization or cyclization to indole side product was not observed.
