Abstract

Amines are of significant importance for the bulk-and finechemical industry as building blocks for polymers and dyes, but also for the synthesis of new pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.[1] In addition, a plethora of naturally bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, amino acids, and nucleotides contain amino groups. Primary amines, in particular, are useful intermediates for further derivatization reactions. Despite numerous established ...
