Abstract

A general catalytic Chan-Lam amination overcomes long-standing and unsolved amine and organoboron limitations. Spectroscopy, computational modeling, and crystallography has identified the structures of key intermediates and allowed a complete mechanistic description, including off-cycle inhibitory processes, the source of amine and organoboron reactivity issues, and the origin of oxidation/protodeboronation side reactions.
