A N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) platinum complex as pre-catalyst for the intramolecular hydroamination of olefins with secondary alkylamines and oxidative amination of ω-alkenic amines

A N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) platinum complex 3 prepared from BINAM was found to be a highly effective pre-catalyst for the intramolecular hydroamination of olefins with secondary alkylamines to give the corresponding intramolecular hydroamination products in excellent yields. The substrate scope has been carefully examined and the plausible reaction mechanism has been also proposed.
