Popis: The development of reactions converting alkenes and alkynes into valuable building blocks remains one of the main goals of synthetic chemistry. Herein, we present the leveraging of highly electron-deficient iminium ions, rare and fleeting intermediates, into a general amine synthesis. This enables the preparation of amines bearing e.g. valuable α-trifluoromethyl moieties under mild conditions. This broad concept is highlighted by the late-stage amination of quinine into a biologically interesting new analogue.
