Copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative γ-C(sp3)-H amination of saturated ketones for synthesis of polysubstituted anilines

Functionalising ketones at the γ-position is not a trivial synthetic task. Here, the authors developed a copper-catalyzed dehydrogenative γ-amination of saturated ketones, which can then participate in a 3-component coupling reaction to construct polysubstituted anilines.
