A minireview of hydroamination catalysis: alkene and alkyne substrate selective, metal complex design

Abstract

Abstract Organic compounds that contain nitrogen are very important intermediates in pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Hydroamination is the reaction that can form C–N bond with high atom economy. The research progress in metals catalyzed hydroamination of alkenes and alkynes from the perspective of reaction mechanism is categorized and summarized.
