Preparation of Polyfunctional Amines by the Addition of Functionalized Organomagnesium Reagents to Nitrosoarenes

Abstract

The addition of functionalized arylmagnesium reagents to nitrosoarenes at -20 °C in THF furnishes after a reductive workup polyfunctional diarylamines in 43-74% yield.

diarylamines - nitrosoarenes - organomagnesium reagents - arylation of amines - amination reaction
