Transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions are widely used for construction of
carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. However, compared to aryl or alkenyl …

The electronic structure, spectroscopic features, and (catalytic) reactivity of complexes with
nitrogen‐centered radical ligands are described. Complexes with aminyl ([M (. NR2)]) …

Transition-metal catalysis of substitution reactions of alkyl electrophiles by nitrogen
nucleophiles is beginning to emerge as a powerful strategy for synthesizing higher-order …

Carbon–nitrogen (C–N) bond-forming reactions of amines with aryl halides to generate
arylamines (anilines), mediated by a stoichiometric copper reagent at elevated temperature …

Dipyrromethene ligand scaffolds were synthesized bearing large aryl (2, 4, 6-Ph3C6H2,
abbreviated Ar) or alkyl (t Bu, adamantyl) flanking groups to afford three new disubstituted …

Terminal copper-nitrenoid complexes have inspired interest in their fundamental bonding
structures as well as their putative intermediacy in catalytic nitrene-transfer reactions. Here …

Chiral N-cyclopropyl pyrazoles and structurally related heterocycles are prepared using an
earth-abundant copper catalyst under mild reaction conditions with high regio-, diastereo …

Among the transition metals, copper-based catalyst systems enable the widest range of N-
containing reagents in C–H amination to allow for the direct incorporation of versatile N …

Whereas photoinduced, copper-catalyzed couplings of nitrogen nucleophiles with alkyl
electrophiles have recently been shown to provide an attractive approach to achieving a …

Chemical transformations that result in either the formation or cleavage of carbon–
heteroatom bonds are among the most important processes in the chemical sciences …
