Recent Progress in Catalytic C-H Aminations

Abstract

This mini review focuses on the recent progress in catalytic C-H amination reactions. The preparation of amine derivatives by catalytic C-H amination reactions would be extremely attractive, given the fact that the majority of the synthetic methods involve a multi step reaction sequence based on the reaction of a nitrogen-based nucleophile with an appropriate carbon electrophile. Selected examples from recent literatures will be described with a brief mechanistic insight.
