Abstract
The use of a carbodicarbene-based pincer ligand scaffold enables a site-selective Rh(I)-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of 1,3-dienes with aryl and alkyl amines. Transformations proceed in the presence of 1.0-5.0 mol % Rh complex at 35 - 120 °C; allylic amines are obtained in up to 97% yield and with >98:2 site selectivity.
