A low catalyst loading of [Cp*IrCl2]2 in the presence of
t-BuOK enables a simple and versatile N-alkylation of sulfonamides with
various alcohols based on a catalytic hydrogen transfer reaction. Various
N-alkylated sulfonamides were prepared in good to excellent yields. Key
catalytic species is a sulfonylimido-bridged unsaturated diiridium complex [(Cp*Ir)2(μ-NTs)2].

A three-component condensation of aldehydes, benzyl carbamate and
allyltrimethylsilane, which affords corresponding protected homoallylic amines
in excellent yields, is catalyzed by iodine.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed asymmetric amination of 2,3-allenyl
phosphates with nitrogen nucleophiles such as amines, hydroxylamines, and
imides can be performed in presence of SEGPHOS or MeOBIPHEP ligand,
affording the corresponding optically active 1-aminated derivatives with
high enantiomeric excess.

yields, high branched-to-linear regioselectivities, and high enantiomeric excess.

Hydroamination of substituted allenes with benzyl carbamate catalyzed by (NHC)AuCl and AgOTf in dioxane led to isolation
of allylic carbamates in good yield as single

A mild, gold(I)-catalyzed hydroamination of 1,3-dienes is reported. Various
carbamates and sulfonamides add to conjugated dienes to affort protected
allylic amines in good to high yields.

Addition of sulfonamides to alkenes and conjugated dienes can be carried out
using a low catalytic amount of (triphenyl phosphite)gold(I) chloride and silver
triflate under thermal or microwave conditions and at r.t. in the case of
dienes. Terminal alkenes undergo regioselective hydroamination at the internal
carbon atom and dienes at the less substituted double bond.

Copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate catalyzed a mild amidation of cyclic ethers
with iminoiodanes with good yields and selectivity. A subsequent reductive
ring-opening of the tosylamidated products gives α,ϖ-amino alcohols.

Benzylic hydrocarbons are selectively converted to the corresponding
sulfonamides by the [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6-catalyzed reaction with anhydrous
TolSO2NNaCl (chloramine-T). Under the same conditions, representative ethers

A highly chemoselective PPh3-catalyzed three-component reaction of an
imine, alkyl vinyl ketone, and phthalimide or succinimide gives various highly

aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of aryl-substituted imines and alkyl vinyl
ketones followed by Michael additions of imides and then epimerization.

A new procedure for aminobromination of olefins gives vicinal bromoamine derivatives in high yields using Cu, Mn, or V
catalysts with
p-toluenesulfonamide as nitrogen source and N-bromosuccinimide
