%X In this review, we summarize recent progress from our group with regard to Pd-catalyzed oxidative amination of alkenes with amines. Intermolecular oxidative amination of alkenes with secondary anilines was induced using a palladium-complex catalyst combined with molybdovanadophosphate as a co-catalyst under dioxygen, leading to allylic amines and enamines in good yields with high selectivities. The reaction proceeded efficiently, using molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant. In addition, palladium-catalyzed oxidative amination of alkenes with anilines as primary amines was achieved using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant, producing ( Z)- N-alkenyl-substituted anilines in high yields.
