Over the past few years, CuH-catalyzed hydroamination has been discovered and developed as a robust and conceptually novel approach for the synthesis of enantioenriched secondary and tertiary amines. The success in this area of research was made possible through the large body of precedent in copper(I) hydride catalysis and the well-explored use of hydroxylamine esters as electrophilic amine sources in related copper-catalyzed processes. This Minireview details the background, advances, and mechanistic investigations in CuH-catalyzed hydroamination.

Copper Hydride Catalyzed Hydroamination of Alkenes and Alkynes

Advances in conversion of hemicellulosic biomass to furfural and upgrading to biofuels

Metal complex catalysis in the synthesis of quinolines

The review summarizes published data on the use of manganese compounds as catalysts in oxidation of alkanes, alcohols, aldehydes, sulfides, and amines and carbometalation, cross coupling, telomerization, chlorination, hydrosilylation, hydrohydrazination, and other reactions.

Manganese compounds in the catalysis of organic reactions

Transition metal complexes in the chemistry of vinylcyclopropanes

The possibility of synthesis of levulinic acid esters by the reaction of furfuryl alcohol with aliphatic alcohols in the system CCl4-Fe(acac)3 was studied.

Furfuryl alcohol in synthesis of levulinic acid esters and difurylmethane with Fe and Rh complexes

The review summarizes published data on the hydroamination of 1,3-dienes with various primary and secondary amines, ammonia, and ammonium salts of mineral acids in the presence of transition metal complexes under homogeneous conditions. The effects of the nature of metal, ligand, initial diene, and amine and reaction conditions on the selectivity of hydroamination are considered, and possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.
