A highly efficient Cu-catalyzed electrophilic
amination reaction
of readily available heteroarenes with O-benzoyl
hydroxylamines via a one-pot C–H alumination is reported. The
reactions were catalyzed using 1 mol % of CuCl to afford various heteroaryl
amines in good to excellent yields. The direct C–H lithiation/transalumination
of heteroarenes and catalytic amination sequence can be performed
in a single vessel on gram scales.
