Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Bringing "N" into the game</bold>: The direct chemoselective nitrogenation of unactivated alkenes can be achieved through oxidative selenium catalysis (see scheme). This method provides a broad variety of allylic imides in yields of up to 89 % using <italic>N</italic>‐fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as the terminal oxidant and nitrogen source. Furthermore, an unprecedented selenium‐catalyzed vinylic C(sp²)–H nitrogenation was discovered.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36jz82j6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
