1. Intermolecular Aminocarbonylation of Alkenes Additional Optimization Data Table S1. Survey of solvents for intermolecular aminocarbonylation of norbornene with first generation reagents a Entry Solvent BG = Ot-Bu (1f) 2f NMR Yield (%) b BG = OPh (1i) 2f NMR Yield (%) b 1 PhCF3 6 63 2 PhCl 8 69 3 o-(cl2)c6h4 10 71 4 PhMe 6 70 5 Pyridine 3 26 6 Dioxane 1 41 7 DMF 1 13 8 t-buoh 0 0 9 H2O 0 0 10 neat 1 74 a Conditions: To a flame dried screw cap vial, 1 or 3 (0.2 mmol, 1 equiv) and norbornene (0.4 mmol, 2 equiv) in the solvent (1 ml). The reaction was heated at 90 ºC for 3 h. b NMR yields taken with 0.5 equiv of 1,3,5- trimethoxybenzene as an internal standard. Scheme S1. No reactivity has been achieved with various alkynes, copper (I) hexylacetylenide, or an allene. Scheme S2. No alkyne reactivity was observed with the non-planar imino-isocyanate precursor 1d. S2

2. IR Study (4) at 90 C Alkene added Product Figure S1. (a) Blue line=mixture of 4 in toluene at 90 C after 10 min. Red line = Analysis after norbornene added. Pink line =spectrum of azomethine imine 5a product in toluene. (b) Blue spectrum in closer detail. Procedure: Hydrazone 4 in toluene (0.05 M) was heated at 90 C, and the mixture became a yellow solution which then became dark ruby red. After 10 min, analysis of the sample showed a peak appeared at 2191 cm -1, corresponding to the asymmetric NCO stretch of the iminoisocyanate. This peak does not match the expected frequency of the azine (1600-1650 cm -1 ). 1 After the 20 minutes, norbornene was added to the reaction mixture. The ruby colour immediately disappeared, and the mixture returned to a pale yellow solution. Prompt analysis of the reaction mixture revealed no peak at 2191 cm -1. 1 Frederickson, L. D. Anal. Chem. 1964, 36, 1349. S3

3. Computational Studies Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed using the Gaussian 09 software package, 2 as described in our prior communication. 3 Optimized molecular geometries were calculated using the B3LYP exchange-correlation functional in vacuum and in methanol solution. 4 For the latter, the SMD implicit solvation model was used with the default solvent parameters. 5 The triple-zeta TZVP basis set and tight SCF convergence criteria were used for all calculations. 6 Wave function stability calculations were performed to confirm that the calculated wave functions corresponded to the ground state. Harmonic frequency calculations were performed to ensure that the stationary points were true energy minima or transition states The unscaled frequencies were used for calculating the Gibbs free energies of the species at 298 K and 1 atm. Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculations were used to confirm the reaction pathways through the transition states for all reported reactions. 7 2 Frisch, M. J.; Trucks, G. W.; Schlegel, H.
