A wide range of amines and hydrazines were synthesized according to an electrophilic amination protocol by oxidative decomposition of readily generated lithium- and zinc-amidocyanocuprates. Optimization of the yields was achieved by the appropriate combination of the organometallic cluster and the nature of the oxidizing agent.
