Abstract

Abstract : Hypervalent iodine‐based aminating reagents containing a transferable (diarylmethylene)amino group can be used for the α‐amination of simple carbonyl compounds such as esters, amides, and ketones in the presence of a lithium base. A snapshot of the unique coupling of an α‐carbonyl radical with an iminyl radical in this amination is given by the motif of spacecraft docking with a space station.
