| The focus of this research is the development of new and useful transformations based on carbon-hydrogen bond activation by transition metal complexes. A method previously developed in our group was applied to the arylation of benzylamines after modification of reaction conditions. ortho-Arylation was successful for a variety of substituted and unsubstituted benzylamines. Surprisingly, the method is useful also for ortho-arylation of N-H containing benzylamines. This method is very tolerant with respect to functional groups on both the amine moiety and aryl iodide. We are extending the arylation methodology to functionalization of sp3 C-H bonds. Aliphatic methyl groups of unprotected amines can be arylated under standard reaction conditions. |
