Abstract
We present a highly selective protocol for the ortho benzylation of N-aryl amides. This method offers mild conditions, excellent site specificity, and scalability, enabling the synthesis of diarylmethane amides and dibenzoazepines. The protocol allows for one-pot diagonal dibenzylation of dianilides, creating valuable precursors for pharmaceutically active compounds and addressing limitations in current direct C–H activation methodologies.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
