Abstract
The nascent nitroso compounds are highly reactive species and hence, very attractive intermediates for a number of synthetic operations. Their ene reactions provide synthetically valuable allylamines directly from alkenes and have drawn considerable attention for new inventions. This review summarizes the advent and development of ene reactions of these species. Giving particular emphasis on the recent developments, comparisons are made among the various strategies for a comprehensive overview.
