Progress and Prospects in the Ruthenium Catalyzed Allylic Amination Reactions

Ruthenium-catalyzed amination reactions have gained much attention in recent times. Due to the low cost and versatile nature of ruthenium, its chemistry is expanding rapidly. The amination reaction provides an efficient pathway to synthesize organonitrogen compounds. These reactions are highly regio- and stereoselective and exhibit wide substrate scope. This review gives an overview of the ruthenium-catalyzed allylic amination reactions covering literature up to 2021.
