Photochemical reactions between unfuctionalized olefins and nitroarenes under CO pressure, catalyzed by [Cp*Fe(CO) 2 ] 2 , form the corresponding allyl amines. The use of mechanistic probes containing 2‐nitrobiphenyl, 2,3‐dimethylbutadiene and pentafluoronitrobenzene suggest that neither aryl nitrene nor nitrosoarene is the active aminating agent in these transformations.
