In the pursuit of C-H bond amination catalysis using base metals, we have made progress in four areas: we have (1) isoated reactive intermediates (i.e., metal imido and iminyl species) along the reaction pathway; (2) examined the effect of <i>N</i>-valency towards group transfer efficacy; (3) explored co-catalyst activation of imidos towards transfer (e.g., solvation of metal-imido); and (4) developed a viable late state amination protocol to afford complex <i>N</i>-heterocycles.
