Abstract

A highly enantio- and regioselective Ni-catalyzed hydroamination of readily available unactivated alkenes bearing weakly coordinating native amides or esters provides β- or γ-amino acid derivatives and 1,2- or 1,3-diamines for both terminal and internal unactivated alkenes and a broad amine coupling partner scope. The mild reaction is well suited for late-stage functionalization.
