abstract = {Silver(I) promotes the highly chemoselective N-amidation of tertiary amines under catalytic conditions
to form aminimides by nitrene transfer from PhI=NTs. Remarkably, this transformation proceeds in a
selective manner in the presence of olefins and other functional groups without formation of the commonly
observed aziridines or C-H insertion products. The methodology can be applied not only to rather simple tertiary
amines but also to complex natural molecules such as brucine or quinine, where the products derived from
N-N formation were exclusively formed. Theoretical mechanistic studies have shown that this selective Namidation
reaction proceeds through triplet silver-nitrenes.},
