Abstract

A visible-light-induced copper-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of alkenes using commercially accessible primary and secondary amines has been established. This effective method exhibits good tolerance of a broad range of functional groups and provides a facile access to an array of valuable amines with Markovnikov regioselectivity. The process can be positively expected to be used in bioactive amines, and it may provide new potential in the discovery of copper-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization reactions.
