Abstract

We report a rhodium catalyst that exhibits high reactivity for the hydroamination of primary aminoalkenes that are unbiased toward cyclization and that possess functional groups incompatible with more electrophilic hydroamination catalysts. The rhodium catalyst contains an unusual diaminophosphine ligand (L1) that binds to rhodium in a κ3-P, O, P mode. The reactions catalyzed by this complex typically proceed at mild temperatures ( ...
