Cover Feature: α‐Amination of Carbonyl Compounds by Using Hypervalent Iodine‐Based Aminating Reagents Containing a Transferable (Diarylmethylene)amino Group (Chem. Eur. J. 10/2023). Issue 10 (1st February 2023) - Okumatsu, Daichi
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.
