A new homogeneous bromine(?I/I) redox catalysis is described, which is based on monomeric bromine(I) compounds containing transferable phthalimidato groups. These catalysts enable intermolecular C?H amination reactions at previously unaccessible aliphatic positions and thus enlarge the synthetic potential of direct C?N bond formation, including its application in the synthesis of alkaloid building blocks. This aspect is demonstrated by a new synthetic approach to aspidospermidine. In addition to the development of the catalyst system, the structures of the involved bromine(I) key catalysts were fully elucidated, including by X-ray analyses.
