Catalytic C–H amination: recent progress and future directions

Florence Collet, Robert H. Dodd and Philippe Dauban

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.
