J Org Chem. 2017 Nov 17;82(22):11752-11764. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.7b01591. Epub 2017 Sep 13.

Abstract

A novel synthetic methodology was developed for the N-arylation of nitroenamine derivatives utilizing diaryliodonium triflates and copper(I) chloride as a catalyst. The procedure enables the easy aryl transfer from the hypervalent species under mild catalytic conditions with unusual heteroatom preference and high efficiency.
