Oxidative coupling of amines and ketones by combined vanadium- and organocatalysis?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2009-03-17 DOI: 10.1039/B901282F

Abstract

The combination of vanadium- and organocatalysis allows for the direct oxidative coupling of cyclic tertiary amines with non-activated ketones without the need for preformed leaving groups.
