Abstract

A one-pot synthetic strategy for diarylamines using only aromatic amines as starting materials has been developed. This method involved a PhI (OAc) 2-induced oxidative dearomatization of N-sulfonyl protected para-substituted anilines, a Bi (OTf) 3-catalyzed imino exchange reaction between N-sulfonyl cyclohexadienimines and aromatic amines, and a CF3COOH/Zn mediated reductive aromatization of the resulting N-aryl ...
