Metal-Catalyzed Amination: C N Bond Formation

Transition metal catalyzed carbon–nitrogen bond formations have been developed as fundamentally important reactions. CN bonds are ubiquitously found in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and in recent products and intermediates of the chemical industry. This book chapter puts emphasis on recent state-of-the-art procedures and highlights achievements in the fields of aliphatic CN bond formation including nitrene insertion reactions, allylic amination, hydroamination and CN cross coupling reactions. This chapter has been clustered to the different types of reactions and references to literature from the last 20 years, specifically from 2000 to 2021.
