C-H and C-C bond activation of primary amines through dehydrogenation and transimination.
[structure: see text]. Dehydrogenation and subsequent transimination of primary amines offer a new pathway for C-H bond activation, ortho-alkylation, and C-C bond activation to afford a variety of ketones in the reaction of 1-alkene by a cocatalyt system of Rh(I) and 2-amino-3-picoline.
