Abstract

The importance of forming C-N bonds has spurred the development of reactions using electrophilic nitrogen reagents. Recently transition-metal catalysts have been developed for use with electrophilic nitrogen sources, resulting in a number of useful C-N bond-forming reactions. This review article summarizes recent progress in this field.
