C−H and C−C Bond Activation of Primary Amines through Dehydrogenation and Transimination

Abstract
Dehydrogenation and subsequent transimination of primary amines offer a new pathway for C−H bond activation, ortho-alkylation, and C−C bond activation to afford a variety of ketones in the reaction of 1-alkene by a cocatalyt system of Rh(I) and 2-amino-3-picoline.
