Reactions that directly install nitrogen into CH bonds of complex molecules are significant because of their potential to change the chemical and biological properties of a given compound. Selective intramolecular CH amination reactions that achieve high levels of reactivity, while maintaining excellent site-selectivity and functional-group tolerance is a challenging problem. Herein is reported a manganese perchlorophthalocyanine catalyst [Mn.sup.III(ClPc)] for intermolecular benzylic CH amination of bioactive molecules and natural products that proceeds with unprecedented levels of reactivity and site-selectivity. In the presence of Brnsted or Lewis acid, the [Mn.sup.III(ClPc)]-catalyzed CH amination demonstrates unique tolerance for tertiary amine, pyridine and benzimidazole functionalities. Mechanistic studies indicate that CH amination proceeds through an electrophilic metallonitrene intermediate via a stepwise pathway where CH cleavage is the rate-determining step of the reaction. Collectively these mechanistic features contrast previous base-metal catalyzed CH aminations. The catalyst can be a compound of Formula I: ##STR00001##

There are provided for herein novel amine-containing transfection compounds and methods for making and using same. The compounds are generally obtained by reacting a primary amine with an unsaturated compound. Transfection complexes made using the amine-containing transfection compounds in combination with additional compounds to encapsulate biologically active agents such as nucleic acids are also provided for herein. Methods of using the transfection complexes for the in vivo or in vitro delivery of biologically active agents are also described. The transfection complexes of the present invention are highly potent, thereby allowing effective modulation of a biological activity at relatively low doses compared to analogous transfection compounds known in the art.
