Capturing an Elusive [Cp*Co(Allyl)CO]+ Complex for Catalytic Allylic C─H Amidation of Unactivated Olefins.
Transition-metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions offer a powerful strategy for direct C─H bond amination; however, the nature of the key reactive intermediates, particularly with Cp*Co(III) systems, remains elusive. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed allylic C─H amidation of unactivated alkenes using dioxazolone...
