Development of Efficient Methods for Synthesis of Nitrogen-Containing Compounds Using Carbamates, Acylhydrazines, and Ammonia

For the efficient synthesis of divergent nitrogen-containing compounds of pharmaceutical and agricultural importance, the development of efficient, complementary, and new synthetic methodologies is essential. One of the key subjects is how to introduce nitrogen atoms in to organic molecules. This review summaries our recent efforts on this issue, focusing on the use of carbamates, acylhydrazines, and ammonia as nitrogen sources.
