Cobalt-catalyzed Markovnikov-selective hydroamination of nonactivated olefins was developed. Hydrogen atom transfer from a catalytically generated cobalt(III)-hydride complex to the olefins proceeded regioselectively, and the nucleophilic addition of benzotriazoles occurred selectively at their N2-positions. The synthetic utility of the obtained N2-alkylated benzotriazoles as stable amine protecting groups under various reaction conditions was demonstrated, and the products were also transformed into primary amines by zinc-mediated reduction.
