Abstract

Hydroaminomethylation of olefin substrates having an amino group are considered to involve initial hydroformylation of the olefin unit, followed by intramolecular reductive amination. Such a reaction provides direct access to N-containing heterocycles, whose synthesis usually requires several steps to construct the heterocyclic ring when traditional methods are used. 4 We previously reported the synthesis and catalytic activity of a novel, air stable ionic diamine rhodium ...
