Access to Aminated Saturated Oxygen Heterocycles via Copper-Catalyzed Aminooxygenation of Alkenes

A copper-catalyzed
aminooxygenation of unactivated alkenes with
various O-nucleophiles is described. This novel methodology
uses commercially available N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide
as an amination reagent and provides a simple and efficient approach
to a wide range of aminated saturated oxygen heterocycles in moderate
to good yields. The reaction features mild reaction conditions, operational
simplicity, and a broad substrate scope.
