title: Highly efficient copper-catalyzed nitro-Mannich type reaction: cross-dehydrogenative-coupling between sp3 C-H bond and sp3 C-H bond.
abstract: A novel C-C bond formation method was developed via the cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) reaction catalyzed by using copper bromide in the presence of an oxidizing reagent, tert-BuOOH. The CDC reaction provides a simple and efficient catalytic method to construct beta-nitroamine via the reaction between sp3 C-H and sp3 C-H bonds.
