Abstract

Abstract We report three transformations: 1) direct transformation from biarylmethanols into biarylmethylamines; 2) direct transformation from one biarylmethanol into another biarylmethanol; 3) direct transformation from allylic alcohols into allylic amines. These transformations are based on pyridyl-directed Rh-catalyzed C [BOND] C bond cleavage of secondary alcohols and subsequent addition to C [DOUBLE BOND] X (X= N or O) double ...
