Hydroamination overview

K. Tani and Y. Kataoka, begin their discussion with an overview about the synthesis and isolation of such species. Many of them contain Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pd, or Pt and complexes with these metals appear also to be the most active catalysts. Their stoichiometric reactions, as well as the progress made in catalytic hydrations, hydroal-coxylations, and hydrocarboxylations of triple bond systems, i.e. nitriles and alkynes, is reviewed. However, as in catalytic hydroaminations the holy grail", the addition of O-H bonds across non-activated C=C double bonds under mild conditions has not been achieved yet.

The scope of hydroamination now includes many types of compounds containing N-H bonds and many types of alkenes and alkynes. Because the scope of these reactions is rapidly changing and many reviews of these processes have been published elsewhere, this section of the chapter provides a broad overview of the scope of these reactions. It then...
