title: Copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination of diorganozinc reagents.
abstract: The copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination of diorganozinc reagents employing O-acyl N,N-dialkyl hydroxylamine derivatives as aminating agents is described. This reaction offers a general method for the preparation of tertiary amines in high yields and is noteworthy for its convenience both in terms of reaction conditions employed (room temperature, </=1 h) and ease of product isolation (acid/base extractive workup).
