Manganese‐Catalyzed Electrochemical Amination of Activated Alkenes

Abstract We have unveiled a new manganese‐catalyzed electrochemical amination method to transform activated alkenes into a diverse array of vinyl amines harnessing sodium azide as the aminating reagent. The strategy claims notable versatility by accommodating a broad spectrum of substrates, demonstrating good compatibility with diverse functional groups, as well as delivering a moderate to good range of yields. The successful late‐stage functionalization further underscores its practical utility. A radical mechanism is proposed based on experimental mechanistic studies.
