Nitrene transfer chemistry is an effective strategy for introducing C–N bonds, but inexpensive reaction systems for tunable, intermolecular chemoselective nitrene transfer for late-stage amination of unsaturated natural products remains a challenge. Here, the authors report copper catalysed chemoselective allylic C–H amination and catalyst-free visible-light induced aziridination of alkenes through nitrene transfer.
