Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, $B(C_6F_5)_3$, was found to be an efficient catalyst for synthesis of N-Cbzhomoallylic amines using Sakurai allylation of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-amino p-tolylsulfones with allyltrimethylsilane.

Bismuth tribromide ($BiBr_3$) catalyzed Mannich-type reactions of N-acyliminium ions which generated in situ from N-benzyloxycarbonylamino p-tolylsulfones have been developed. In the presence of catalytic amount of $BiBr_3$, N-benzyloxycarbonylamino p-tolylsulfones prepared from aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes reacted with silyl enol ether and silyl enol ester under mild reaction conditions to afford N-Cbz-protected ${\beta}$-amino ketones and N-Cbz-protected ${\beta}$-amino esters in moderate to good yield, respectively.
