Site-selective catalytic deaminative alkylation of unactivated olefins

A catalytic deaminative alkylation of unactivated olefins is described. The protocol is characterized by its mild conditions, wide scope – including the use of ethylene as substrate –, and exquisite site-selectivity pattern for both a-olefins and internal olefins, thus unlocking a new catalytic platform to forge sp3-sp3 linkages, even in the context of late-stage functionalization.
