Nitrogen-containing compounds, such as amines, enamines, and imines, are valuable and
commercially important bulk chemicals, specialty chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. 1 Among …

Organometallic chemistry is generally considered the key to homogeneous catalysis, which,
although a century old, is still today a very dynamic discipline. 1 The past decade has seen …

Herein we report a metal-free method for the direct anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of
unsaturated amines. Irradiation of the amine substrates with visible light in the presence of …

Asymmetric hydroamination allows the direct and selective formation of a new C N bond as
a simple procedure towards valuable scalemic synthons. Huge efforts have recently been …

A chiral secondary amine phosphoramide was developed and identified as a powerful
catalyst for the Mukaiyama–Michael addition of fluorinated enol silyl ethers to …

The β-diketiminate-stabilized calcium amide complex [{ArNC (Me) CHC (Me) NAr} Ca {N
(SiMe3) 2}(THF)](Ar= 2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) and magnesium methyl complex [{ArNC (Me) …

The enantioselective intramolecular aminative functionalization of unactivated alkenes and
related π-systems is a straight-forward and atom economical strategy for the synthesis of …

The heavier group 2 complexes [M {N (SiMe3) 2} 2] 2 (1, M= Ca; 2, M= Sr) and [M {CH
(SiMe3) 2} 2 (THF) 2](3, M= Ca; 4, M= Sr) are shown to be effective precatalysts for the …

A method for highly selective anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of terminal alkenes is
reported. The one-pot procedure involves hydroboration of the alkene followed by a novel …
