Abstract
A molybdenum-mediated reductive hydroamination of vinylcyclopropanes with nitroarenes provides substituted homoallylamines were prepared in very good yields. No noble metal catalysts were used in this reaction, and Mo(CO)6 acted as both catalyst and reductant. This protocol provides an effective method for the selective synthesis of substituted homoallylamines from easily available nitroarenes.
