This reaction proceeds via the insertion of the alkene into a C-H bond at the ortho-position of the imino group of the aromatic aldimine followed by sequential beta-hydride elimination from the formed alkyl rhenium intermediate and then by hydrogenation of the imino group of the aldimine. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KuninobuYoichiro en-aut-sei=Kuninobu en-aut-mei=Yoichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakaharaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Nakahara en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YuPeng en-aut-sei=Yu en-aut-mei=Peng kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakaiKazuhiko en-aut-sei=Takai en-aut-mei=Kazuhiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University en-keyword=Rhenium kn-keyword=Rhenium en-keyword=Insertion kn-keyword=Insertion en-keyword=Hydrogen transfer kn-keyword=Hydrogen transfer en-keyword=Aldimine kn-keyword=Aldimine en-keyword=Alkene kn-keyword=Alkene END
