Abstract
Amines are important organic compounds with a wide range of application in the synthesis of fine chemicals. Although many multi-step methods have been well developed for their synthesis, one step methods for the synthesis of amine, especially, aliphatic primary amine via direct C–H or C–C bond nitrogention are less developed and full of challenge.
