Synthesis of Naphthylamines and Anthrylamines via η³-Benzylpalladium Intermediates

This paper is dedicated to Prof. Yoshinori Yamamoto on the occasion of his 70^th birthday.

Abstract

The alkylative dearomatization of benzyl chlorides via η³-benzylpalladium intermediates has been developed for carbo­cycle synthesis. This article highlights the current progress in the area of η³-benzylpalladium chemistry. A new method has been established for naphthylamine and anthrylamine synthesis.

Key words

palladium - catalysis - amination - arylamine - synthesis
