Hydroamination could find applications due to the valuable nature of the resulting amine, as well as the greenness of the process. Functionalized allylamines, which can be produced through hydroamination, have extensive pharmaceutical application, although presently such species are not prepared by hydroamination.  Hydroamination has been utilized to synthesize the allylamine Cinnarizine in quantitative yield. Cinnarizine treats both vertigo and  motion sickness related nausea.
Hydroamination is also promising for the synthesis of alkaloids. An example was the hydroamination step used in the  total synthesis of (-)-epimyrtine.
