The amino group is one of the most prevalent functional groups present in a wide range of organic molecules, which has been widely applied in various organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Alkyl amines could be converted in a single step into Katritzky salts which could serve as alkyl radical precursors to construct C−C bonds and C−X bonds via C(sp3)−N cleavage. This deaminative functionalization could be carried out under transition-metal catalysis, photocatalysis, carbene catalysis or promoted by base. In this paper, recent developments in...
