The rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular C-H insertion of the nitrene derived from 2,2,2-trichloroethyl-N-tosyloxycarbamate proceeded in good to excellent yields to produce a variety of Troc-protected amines. With cyclic aliphatic alkanes, it is possible to use only 2 equiv of substrate, whereas the reaction with aromatic alkanes is run neat. Not only does the nitrene insertion proceed in benzylic, secondary, and tertiary C-H bonds but also primary C-H insertion products were obtained in good yields. Finally, the use of chiral rhodium catalysts to provide an enantioselective version of this process is discussed.
