Abstract

Nitrogen-containing functional groups are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals. The hydroamination of unactivated alkenes and alkynes is an attractive approach for the synthesis of such molecules, but it is underdeveloped and remains challenging, especially for intermolecular reactions. Most recent progress has been accomplished using transition-metal catalysis,[1, 2] or strong acids with less basic nitrogen ...
