OUR FINDINGS: 1) Alkane amination AND dehydrogenation/aziridination:
2) Alkylarene amination AND amine dehydrogenation:
3) Simple CuII complexes are efficient catalysts of these reactions:
Activity of catalysts increases in the presence of NaBArF4

PLAUSIBLE MECHANISM OF CH AMINATIONPLAUSIBLE MECHANISM OF CH AMINATION
Facts in support of the scheme above: Addition of PhINTs to CuII complex causes its color change from blue to yellow (CuIII?). The yellow color is gone when PhINTs reacted completely. Additional hypotheses: 1) Dinuclear Cu complexes are responsible for alkane and amine dehydrogenation2) Efficiency of Cu catalyst is a function of the ability of L to withstand oxidative degradation 3) Part of PhINTs forms less active nitrene “dimers” TsN=NTs
QUESTIONS / PLANS FOR FUTUREQUESTIONS / PLANS FOR FUTURE
• Are the reaction products, N-tosylamides / aziridines, - good or “bad” ligands for CuII –based catalysis of nitrene transfer?
• What is the catalyst resting state?
• If they are poor ligands, how to modify pyridine ligands to achieve a better performance to cost ratio?
• Is it possible to detect spectroscopically (NMR, UV-Vis etc) plausible CuIII - nitrene adducts?
• Is it possible to prepare such robust ligands which will allow isolation of Cu-nitrene adducts?
• Will dinuclear-only Cu-complexes be more efficient in catalytic dehydrogenation?
• Is it possible to use TsN=NTs as a source of NTs?
• How reactivity of Cu-nitrene adducts will be influenced by the nature of R group in nitrenes RN? Is it possible to enhance their reactivity so that methane CH bonds can be attacked? Or tune their reactivity so that only selective CH bond cleavage will occur (3o-only, e.g.)?
