En route to catalysis: Two equivalents of the three-coordinate copper(II) amide [(Cl2NN)Cu]-NHAd participate in stoichiometric C - H amination by a H-atom abstraction/radical capture sequence. This active species may be generated through a copper(II) tert-butoxide intermediate to allow for the unprecedented catalytic amination of sp3-C - H bonds with unactivated alkylamines. This method greatly expands the range of amines for catalytic C - H amination since most protocols require N-based electron-withdrawing groups.
