Catalytic hydroaminoalkylation.
Excellent couplings: Recent developments in the metal-catalyzed C-H activation of sp(3) centers in an alpha position relative to an amine nitrogen atom are presented. Their reaction with alkenes to give alkylamines (hydroaminoalkylation) is also summarized (see general scheme).
