Recent advances in transition metal-catalyzed sp3 C-H amination adjacent to double bonds and carbonyl groups

Abstract

Transition metal-catalyzed C-H amination at positions adjacent to double bonds and carbonyl groups is discussed in this critical review. While the focus will center on the recent developments of α-oxidative amination, some historical developments and mutually beneficial reports in the broader field of C-H amination will be discussed. C-H amination has become a viable method for the efficient installation of nitrogen atoms en route to target molecules (89 references).
