Direct and selective synthesis of primary amines from easily available precursors is attractive yet challenging. Herein, we report the rapid synthesis of primary amines from alkenes via metal-free regioselective hydroamination at room temperature. Ammonium carbonate was used as ammonia surrogate for the first time, allowing for efficient conversion of terminal and internal alkenes into linear, α-branched, and α-tertiary primary amines under mild conditions. This method provides a straightforward and powerful approach to a wide spectrum of advanced, highly functionalized primary amines which are of particular interest in pharmaceutical chemistry and other areas.
Serotonin Receptor Affinity of Cathinone and Related Analogues

A series of cathinone (α-aminopropiophenone) analogues was examined using the isolated rat fundus preparation. (S)-(-)-Cathinone possesses twice the serotonin receptor affinity of (+/-)-cathinone and four times the affinity of racemic amphetamine.Several derivatives of cathinone were found to either possess a lower affinity than the parent compound or did not interact with the receptors in a competitive manner.Several novel analogues, 1-(aminomethyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalene hydrochloride (3), 4-(aminomethyl)-3-chromene hydrochloride (4b), as well as its 6-methoxy derivative, 4a, interact with serotonin receptors but in a fashion which is, most likely, dissimilar to the interaction of the substituted cathinone analogues.
