ABSTRACT

Meta-C-H functionalization of benzylamines has been developed using a PdII /transient mediator strategy. Using 2-pyridone ligands and 2-carbomethoxynorbornene (NBE-CO2 Me) as the mediator, arylation, amination, and chlorination of benzylamines are realized. This protocol features a broad substrate scope and is compatible with heterocylic coupling partners. Moreover, the loading of the Pd can be lowered to 2.5 mol % by using the optimal ligand.
