Abstract Atom-economic and regioselective C \−C bond formation has been achieved by rapid C\−H alkylation of unprotected secondary arylamines with unactivated alkenes. The combination of Ta(CH2SiMe3)3Cl2, and a ureate N,O-chelating-ligand salt gives catalytic systems prepared in situ that can realize high yields of β-alkylated aniline derivatives from either terminal or internal alkene substrates. These new catalyst systems realize C\−H alkylation in as little as one hour and for the first time a 1:1 stoichiometry of alkene and amine substrates results in high yielding syntheses of isolated amine products by simple filtration and concentration.

Screening experiments involving a series of amide and urea proligands led to the discovery of a tethered bis(ureate) zirconium complex with unprecedented reactivity in the intermolecular hydroamination of alkynes and the intramolecular hydroamination of alkenes. This catalyst system is effective with primary and secondary amines, 1,2-disubstituted alkenes, and heteroatom-containing functional groups, including ethers, silanes, amines, and heteroaromatics. The gem-disubstituent effect is not required for cyclization. The catalyst is generally regioselective for the anti-Markovnikov product of intermolecular alkyne hydroamination, and chemoselective for hydroamination over alpha-alkylation when forming 6- and 7-membered rings from aminoalkenes.}, keywords = {ALKYNES, AMIDATE COMPLEXES, AMINES, AMINOALKENES, BOND FORMATION, INTRAMOLECULAR HYDROAMINATION, METAL-CATALYSTS, TITANIUM, UNACTIVATED ALKENES, ZIRCONIUM}, isbn = {0002-7863}, url = {://000273615800028}, author = {Leitch, D.
