Heterogeneously Catalysed Hydroamination

Abstract

Abstract The direct addition of amines to alkynes and olefins is an elegant approach for C−N bond formation in contrast to other conventional synthetic organic methods that afford higher substituted amines; comprising essential organo‐nitrogen compounds which are the scaffolds present in important N‐heterocycles. Heterogeneous catalyzed direct amination is presented in this Review, along with the advantages, the structure‐activity relationship of applied solid acids, functionalized nanomaterials and heterogeneous single metal site catalysts that play a pivotal role towards tuning the formation of branched and linear amines.
