A method includes reacting an amino group, a composition including rhodium and an organic ligand, and a substrate having structural formula (I) in a reaction mixture. n n n n n n n n n n R 1 is an organic group including a sp 3 carbon atom bonded to C A . R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and an organic group including a sp 3 carbon atom bonded to C A . R 3 and R 4 independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and an organic group including a sp 3 carbon atom bonded to C B . The method further includes forming a hydroaminated product in the reaction mixture. |
