Herein, we report the catalytic allylic amination of α-methylalkenes with VODipic(HMPA) and chloramine T as the quantitative source of . The reaction works with high yields and stereoselectivities for α-methylalkenes. A proposed tosylnitrene-free catalytic cycle involving the formation of vanadoxaziridine complex as the active catalyst and aminovanadation across the substrate as the rate-determining step has been proposed.
