With an array of approaches being already reported, the incorporation of N-containing fragments en route to the generation of amino groups in yet scarce and not disclosed for the metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer strategy. Here we introduce such tactics employing silver-based catalysts for the incorporation of nitrene NTs (Ts = p-toluenesulfonyl) groups to commercially available polybutadienes. The process occurs at room temperature without appreciable chain scission or cross-linking processes and enables precise control of the degree of functionalization. Thermal analyses demonstrate a correlation between such degree and the Tg values of the functionalized polymers.}, publisher = {Wiley}, keywords = {Nitrene transfer • Polybutadiene amination • Polyolefin aziridination • Post-polymerization functionalization • Silver catalysis}, title = {Functionalization of Polyolefins via Catalytic Nitrene Addition}, doi = {10.1002/anie.202522659}, author = {Pérez Ruíz, Jorge and Ramírez, Manuel R. and Rentero, Christian and Sessini, Valentina and Mosquera, Marta E.
