The substituted anilines play a pivotal role as structural motifs in agrochemicals, organic polymers, and pharmaceuticals, and great efforts have been dedicated to advancing their synthesis. However, the highly efficient and selective synthesis of meta,meta-disubstituted anilines remains a challenge. Here, we report the synthesis of meta,meta-disubstituted anilines via sequential Mo-catalyzed deoxygenative benzene formation and Pd-catalyzed amination reactions. By employing this method, a wide range of meta,meta-disubstituted anilines were accessed with up to 89% yield from readily accessible ynones, allylic amines, and amines.
