Abstract

There has been much interest in the development of clean and environmentally benign methods for the transformation of amines into the corresponding α-functionalized compounds. These compounds have proven to be versatile intermediates and have been widely used in the construction of biologically active nitrogen compounds such as alkaloids.[1] Direct introduction of a substituent at the α position of tertiary amines is ...
