Abstract

Amines are ubiquitous in both naturally occurring and manmade compounds which demonstrate high levels of biological activity.[1, 2] Direct construction of a CÀN bond through CÀH amination is one of the most exciting and challenging fields in amine chemistry.[3, 4] Direct aliphatic CÀH amination has led to significant results arising from the discovery of metal nitrenoids,[5–8] but highly active free nitrene is unselective and uncontrollable. ...
