Abstract
A bench-stable NH-oxaziridine reagent enables a primary electrophilic amination of primary, secondary, and tertiary organometallic substrates. This facile and highly chemoselective transformation occurs in a single step without transition metal catalysts at ambient temperature. A convenient extractive work-up provides alkylamine products.
