Toward a Synthetically Useful Stereoselective C−H Amination of Hydrocarbons

Reaction between a sulfur(VI) compound and an iodine(III) oxidant in the presence of a catalytic quantity (≤3 mol %) of a rhodium(II) catalyst leads to the formation of a chiral metallanitrene of unprecedented reactivity. The latter allows intermolecular C−H amination to proceed in very high yields...
