Significance

Lithiated carbamates undergo versatile reactions ranging from simple quenching with electrophiles to 1,2-acyl transfer reactions providing α-hydroxamides. In this article, a remarkable N to C 1,4-aryl migration in lithiated carbamates is described. This method can be efficiently used for the synthesis of α-arylated benzylic alcohols.
