(Chemical Equation Presented) Hydrocarbons activate! Isolable β-diketiminato dicopper-nitrene complexes such as 1 derived from the reaction of [{(Cl2NN)Cu}2(μ-benzene)] and 1-adamantylazide are potent towards nitrene insertion into unactivated sp 3-hybridized C-H bonds. 1 allows stoichiometric and catalytic intermolecular C-H amination of hydrocarbons to give secondary amines (see scheme). Catalyst loadings as low as 0.05 mol% may be used.
