Abstract Aryl azides have been used as atom-efficient nitrene transfer reagents in the (porphyrin) ruthenium-catalyzed amination of olefins. Several azides, olefins and [Ru (porphyrin) CO] complexes were tested to investigate the scope and limits of the reaction. Quantitative yields and short reaction times were achieved by using terminal olefins and aryl azides bearing electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl moiety. The reactions were ...
