A copper-catalyzed aminocyanation of alkenes has been achieved through distal cyano migration using <i>O</i>-benzoylhydroxylamines and <i>N</i>-fluorobenzenesulfonimides. This method offers a rapid approach to generate diverse β-amino and β-sulfonimido nitriles. These reactions feature mild conditions, tolerance of sensitive functional groups, and excellent regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that these transformations are initiated by a copper-catalyzed amination step followed by a cy ...[more]
