Photo‐induced iron‐catalyzed allylic amination of unfunctionalized olefins with nitroarenes |
|
| Authors: | Radhey S Srivastava |
| Abstract: | Photochemical reactions between unfuctionalized olefins and nitroarenes under CO pressure, catalyzed by Cp*Fe(CO)2]2, form the corresponding allyl amines. The use of mechanistic probes containing 2‐nitrobiphenyl, 2,3‐dimethylbutadiene and pentafluoronitrobenzene suggest that neither aryl nitrene nor nitrosoarene is the active aminating agent in these transformations.
