title: Catalytic C-H amination: recent progress and future directions.
abstract: Recent developments in catalytic C-H amination are discussed in this feature article. The careful design of reagents and catalysts now provides efficient conditions for exquisitely selective intramolecular as well as intermolecular nitrene C-H insertion. The parallel emergence of C-H activation/amination reactions opens new opportunities complementary to those offered by nitrenes.
