This Dalton Transactions Hot article investigates the intermolecular hydroamination of heteroatom-substituted allenes.
The addition of hydrogen-nitrogen bonds to carbon multiple bonds is an important reaction in organic synthesis, and here Laurel Schafter and Rashidat Oyinla from the University of British Columbia in Canada, use a transition metal catalyst to create five-membered N,O-chelating complexes.
