Silica gel (60–120 mesh)
efficiently catalyses the opening of epoxides by amines at r.t. under
solvent-free conditions. Non-styrenoidal unsymmetrical alkene oxides undergo
selective nucleophilic attack at the sterically less hindered carbon by
aniline. A complementary regioselectivity is exhibited by aromatic and
aliphatic amines during the reaction with styrene oxide.

In a radical-mediated strategy for β C-H amination of alcohols, imidates as
radical relay chaperones serve as traceless directors that facilitates selective
C-H functionalization via 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and enable net
incorporation of ammonia at the β carbon. A streamlined protocol enables rapid
conversion of alcohols to their β-amino analogs (via in situ conversion of
alcohols to imidates, directed C-H amination, and hydrolysis).
