Abstract
Early transition metal-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation is a powerful single-step method to selectively add amines to polybutadienes, offering an efficient strategy to access amine-functionalized polyolefins. Aryl and alkyl secondary amines were used with a tantalum catalyst to functionalize both 28 wt% (PBD13) and 70 wt% (PBD50) 1,2-polybutadiene polymers. The degree of amination was controlled by modifying amine and catalyst loading in both small- and multigram-scale reactions. The vinyl groups of 1,2-polybutadiene were aminated with ease, and unexpectedly the hydroaminoalkylation of challenging internal alkenes of the 1,4-polybutadiene unit was observed. This unanticipated reactivity was proposed to be due to a directing group effect. This hypothesis was supported with small-molecule model substrates, which also showed directed internal alkene amination. Increasing degrees of amination resulted in materials with dramatically higher and tunable glass transition temperature (Tg) values, due to the dynamic cross-linking accessible to hydrogen-bonding, amine-containing materials. Primary amine-functionalized polybutadiene was also prepared, demonstrating that a broad new class of amine-containing polyolefins can be accessed by postpolymerization hydroaminoalkylation.

Abstract
The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of vanadium pyridonate complexes are described. Vanadium(III) pyridonate complexes were accessed through protonolysis and reduction of a tetrakis(amido)vanadium(IV) starting material. Bis(pyridonate) vanadium(IV) precursors could be isolated depending on the amount of proteoligand added. The targeted vanadium(III) species tend to form dimers, but monomeric complexes can be achieved in the presence of neutral donors such as amines or pyridine derivatives or through the use of sterically demanding proligands. The reduction process is proposed to involve dimeric intermediates and be mediated by the amine released from protonolysis, thereby forming the corresponding imine as a byproduct. Isolated amine complexes of vanadium(III) are presented. In contrast, bis(amidate)vanadium(IV) complexes were not found to undergo a similar reduction. This work informs on design principles for the synthesis and application of new vanadium pyridonate catalysts for transformations involving dimerization and PCET for changes in oxidation state.

Abstract
Hydroaminoalkylation is a powerful, atom-economic catalytic reaction for the reaction of amines with alkenes and alkynes. This C-H functionalization reaction allows for the atom-economic alkylation of amines using simple alkenes or alkynes as the alkylating agents. This transformation has significant potential for transformative approaches in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries in the preparation of selectively substituted amines and N-heterocycles and shows promise in materials science for the synthesis of functional and responsive aminated materials. Different early transition-metal, late transition-metal, and photoredox catalysts mediate hydroaminoalkylation by distinct mechanistic pathways. These mechanistic insights have resulted in the development of new catalysts and reaction conditions to realize hydroaminoalkylation with a broad range of substrates: activated and unactivated, terminal and internal, C-C double and triple bonds with aryl or alkyl primary, secondary, or tertiary amines, including N-heterocyclic amines. By deploying select catalysts with specific substrate combinations, control over regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity has been realized. Key barriers to widespread adoption of this reaction include air and moisture sensitivity for early transition-metal catalysts as well as a heavy dependence on amine protecting or directing groups for late transition-metal or photocatalytic routes. Advances in improved catalyst robustness, substrate scope, and regio-/stereoselective reactions with early- and late transition-metal catalysts, as well as photoredox catalysis, are highlighted, and opportunities for further catalyst and reaction development are included. This perspective shows that hydroaminoalkylation has the potential to be a disruptive and transformative strategy for the synthesis of selectively substituted amines and N-heterocycles from simple amines and alkenes.

Abstract
Hydroaminoalkylation (HAA) is demonstrated to be a promising postpolymerization route to catalytically prepare amine-functionalized atactic polypropylene. Using a recently reported tantalum catalyst supported by a N,O-chelating cyclic ureate ligand, vinyl-terminated polypropylene (VTPP) is transformed into both aryl and alkyl secondary amine-terminated polyolefins. Early transition-metal-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation avoids protection/deprotection protocols typically required for secondary amine synthesis. This single-step reaction can be performed at multigram scale with minimal solvent and is atom economic, thereby allowing for optimized product isolation. Materials are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, DSC, and TGA. The utility of the reactive and unprotected amine terminus is highlighted by the installation of a fluorescent end group and the assembly of a graft copolymer by condensation of the secondary amine terminus with carboxylic acid moieties.
