Transition-metal-catalyzed intermolecular or intramolecular direct oxidative aminations of C (sp3) ÀH bonds, including activated and unactivated C (sp3) ÀH bonds, have emerged as important methods for CÀN bond formations, because they are straightforward and have economic advantages over present procedures by employing prefunctionalized substrates (Scheme 1 a).[1–3] However, these aminations are restricted because of the toxicity of ...
