Regioselective hydroamination of unactivated olefins with diazirines as a diversifiable nitrogen source.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen-containing compounds, such as amines, hydrazines, and heterocycles, play an indispensable role in medicine, agriculture, and materials. Alkylated derivatives of these compounds, especially in sterically congested environments, remain a challenge to prepare. Here we report a versatile method for the regioselective hydroamination of readily available unactivated olefins with diazirines. Over fifty examples are reported, including the protecting group-free amination of fourteen different natural products. A broad functional group tolerance includes alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and epoxides. The proximate products of these reactions are diaziridines, which, under mild conditions, are converted to primary amines, hydrazines, and heterocycles. Five target- and diversity-oriented synthe
