Abstract

A carbodicarbene (CDC)-based pincer ligand scaffold is reported, along with its application to site-selective Rh(I)-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of 1,3-dienes with aryl and alkyl amines. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the use of a well-defined CDC complex as an efficient catalyst. Transformations proceed in the presence of 1.0-5.0 mol % Rh complex at 35-120 °C; allylic amines are obtained in up to 97% yield and with >98:2 site selectivity.
