Copper-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective hydroamination of alkenes with hydroxylamines.

Adding value: The catalytic hydroamination of alkenes with amines holds promise to rapidly deliver value-added chiral amines from simple and accessible starting materials. The use of mild, Cu-catalyzed electrophilic amination strategies for the regioselective preparation of both linear and chiral branched amines is highlighted.
