Secondary and tertiary alkylamines are privileged substance classes which are often found in pharmaceuticals and other biologically active small molecules. Herein, we report their direct synthesis from alkenes through an aminative difunctionalization reaction enabled by iron catalysis. A family of nine novel hydroxylamine-derived aminating reagents was designed for the installation of several medicinally relevant amine groups, such as methylamine, morpholine and piperazine, through the aminochlorination of alkenes. The methodology displays an excellent functional group tolerance, and a broad scope of alkenes was converted to the corresponding products, including several drug-like molecules. Besides aminochlorination, the installation of other functionalities through aminoazidation, aminohydroxylation and even intramolecular carboamination reactions, is demonstrated, further highlighting the broad potential of these new reagents for the discovery of novel amination reactions.

仲和叔烷基胺是特权物质类别，通常在药物和其他具有生物活性的小分子中发现。在本文中，我们报道了它们通过铁催化的胺化双官能化反应从烯烃直接合成。设计了一种由九种新颖的羟胺衍生的胺化试剂家族，用于通过烯烃的氨基氯化来安装几个医学上相关的胺基，例如甲胺，吗啉和哌嗪。该方法显示出优异的官能团耐受性，并且将宽范围的烯烃转化为相应的产物，包括几种药物样分子。除了氨基氯化以外，还可以通过氨基叠氮化来安装其他功能，
