Recent progress in copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination

Copper-catalyzed coupling reactions have been recognized as one of the most useful strategies for the formation of C-N bonds. This perspective gives an overview of the recent developments in copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination for the construction of various amines and their derivatives, including the electrophilic amination of various organometallic reagents and direct C-H bonds as well as the annulative electrophilic amination of o-alkynylphenols and o-alkynylanilines.
