Abstract
A copper-promoted intramolecular C-H oxidative amination reaction between secondary amine (N-H) and C(sp3)-H at the benzylic position of azaarenes or α-position of ketones enables the synthesis of aziridine derivatives in the presence of oxygen as sole oxidant. Moreover, a Yb(OTf)3-CuI relay system catalyzes the aziridination of electron-deficient vinylarenes with unprotected primary alkyl amines.
