Prochiral allyl amine compound and synthetic method thereof

The invention provides a prochiral allyl amine compound. The compound is neryl amine or (Z)-N, N-diethyl-3, 7-dimethyl-2, 6-octadiene-1-amine. A synthetic method of the prochiral allyl amine compound is provided. The method includes adding quantitative terpenoid compounds, diethylamine and solvents in a drying high pressure reaction device under the protection of inert atmosphere, uniformly stirring, adding quantitative catalysts, controlling the reaction temperature in a range from 50 DEG C to 150 DEG C and the reaction pressure in a range from 70psi to 140psi, reacting for 12 to 24 hours to obtain a reaction product, after the reacting is finished, cooling the reaction product to the room temperature, throwing the reaction product in ice water, keeping static to separate two phases, extracting the lower layer water phase by an extracting solvent, merging the extracted water phase into an organic phase, washing by saturated salt water, drying by anhydrous sodium sulfate, and distilling to obtain the required
