Besides having a different reaction mechanism, direct amination reactions differ from the borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer methodology in substrate scope, conditions, product selectivity, and byproducts formation.

89. During the preparation of this manuscript, Allen and Crabtree reported an air (oxygen)-initiated C - C coupling of primary and secondary alcohols, pointing out another possible reaction route for their reaction: Allen, L. J.; Crabtree, R. H. Green Chem. 2010, 12, 1362. Yus and co-workers also proposed a new mechanistic path for their Cu-catalyzed N- alkylation reaction even though all their reactions were carried out under inert argon atmosphere; see ref 14c

153. In fact, it has been documented that amides and amines, including the sulfonamides, are good ligands having strong ligating abilities toward metals: Chohan, Z. H.; Shad, H. A.; Nasim, F.-H. Appl. Organometal. Chem. 2009, 23, 319 and references therein

179. A series of reductive (transfer hydrogenative) asymmetric carbonyl allylation, propargylation, and vinylation reactions using isopropanol as the reducing alcohol has been achieved by Krische and co-workers: Bower, J.

183. It has been reported that the early base-free transition-metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenations had to be conducted at much higher temperatures (ref -c), while Bäckvall and co-workers found that dramatic enhancement of the reaction efficiency can be achieved by addition of small amounts of base (ref d). Base possibly works to deprotonate the alcohol and promotes its coordination with transition metal catalysts, enhancing the catalyst's activity. Sasson, Y.; Blum, J. Tetrahedron Lett. 1971, 2167
